Pain Persists Around Puncture Site After Medical Procedure

DEAR DR. ROACH: Nine days ago, I had a medical procedure under general anesthesia. One of the lines was put in the artery in my left wrist. Aside from deep bruising that went halfway up my forearm, it seems that there is some nerve damage. I have constant pain from my thumb, through my wrist, and up to about 3 inches on my arm. Overnight, the pain becomes intense and radiates all the way up to my shoulder.

Tylenol and an arthritis sleeve only provide minimum relief. Should I request to see a neurologist, or is there another type of doctor to seek out for a diagnosis? This has become life-altering, and I’m hoping it will eventually be healed. -- B.F.

ANSWER: I suspect that the bruising on your forearm was caused by bleeding from the puncture site of the artery in your wrist. (This type of line is used to measure blood pressure accurately and instantaneously.) The hematoma (blood collection) inside the wrist might be compressing the median nerve in your carpal tunnel, which causes a neuropathy very much like carpal tunnel syndrome.

If I am right, then the condition should improve as your body absorbs the blood, which takes pressure off the nerve. However, there are case reports of permanent damage to the nerve from complications of an arterial puncture. In general, if the nerve compression is serious enough to cause weakness, it needs to be acted upon urgently.

The doctors who performed your procedure need to know about this complication, and a neurologist is exactly the right person to see. A simple nerve test could conﬁrm my suspicion or disprove it by ﬁnding a different cause if your symptoms persist.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an active 60-year-old who took a soccer ball to the groin some time back.After a few months, I noticed a change in my sexual organ. Narrowing and bending of my organ developed, and it seems to be getting worse.

My general doctor seems to think it’s Peyronie’s disease. After researching this, I started taking vitamin E and COq10 supplements. I scheduled a urologist exam but was hoping for some insight on this. -- G.

ANSWER: I suspect your general doctor is correct, and an evaluation by a urologist is certainly indicated. Peyronie’s disease is often triggered by trauma in a person who is genetically susceptible to the condition. (Your trauma was very clear, but it isn’t always clear in everyone what the trauma might have been.)

The diagnosis is made by an examination showing a bend in the penis, along with plaque that can be felt during an examination in most cases. Some men, but not all, will have pain.

In men who are in the active phase of the disease (where the curvature is getting worse), urologists will often prescribe pentoxifylline for three to six months in hopes of stabilizing the condition and preventing the curve from worsening.

Vitamin E was not found to be superior to a placebo treatment. CoQ10 was found to have a beneﬁt in a small trial, and since it is very safe, this was a reasonable treatment for you to try.

Depending on your symptoms and degree of curvature, there are several options for treatment. Medication can be injected directly into the penis; men treated with this were found to have about a 34% improvement in curvature. Traction therapy is also frequently used.

In men with more severe disease that does not respond to the previous options,surgical treatment can be considered. This should be done in men whose sexual function is affected by the disease and in cases where medical treatments have failed to improve their symptoms adequately.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

TAME STRESS AND IMPROVE HEALTH

Stress can affect people of any age. While small amounts of stress may stimulate adrenaline responses and help people power through difﬁcult projects or solve problems, chronic stress can impact the mind and body in harmful ways.

WebMD deﬁnes stress as any change in the environment that requires the body to react and adjust in response. The body may react to stress physically, emotionally and/or mentally. Positive stress, called eustress, can take the form of getting a new job with greater responsibilities. However, it’s the bad stress - distress - that can cause tension and other negative consequences.

Money, health and relationships are some of the common contributors to stress in the United States. Seventy-seven percent of Americans regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress, and 73 percent experience psychological symptoms from stress. Statistics Canada indicated that, in 2014, the most recent year for which data is available, 23 percent of Canadians ages 15 and older (6.7 million people) reported that most days were “quite a bit” or “extremely” stressful.

Stress can have many implications. When the body is stressed, muscles tense up and chronic stress can cause the muscles in the body to stay taut and tense for long periods of time, says the American Psychological Association. This may lead to tension headaches and musculoskeletal disorders.

The Mayo Clinic advises that stress can cause fatigue, changes in sex drive, stomach upset, and difﬁculty sleeping. Stress also affects mood, potentially resulting in lack of motivation or focus, anxiety, sadness, and/ or angry outbursts.

Healthline links chronic stress to behaviors such as overeating, not eating enough, alcohol or drug abuse, and social withdrawal.

Reducing stress is a priority for many people. Although it is not an easy undertaking, slowly removing stressors from one’s life and taking steps toward changing one’s responses to stressful situations can help. There are many stress-management strategies, and not every one is right for all individuals. However, the following techniques may be helpful.

• Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress.

• Meditation: Mindful meditation, deep breathing, yoga, and tai chi are ways to focus the brain away from stressful situations.

• Socialization: Talking and spending time with friends or family can relieve stress.

• Hobbies: Crafts, hobbies and other engaging activities can direct attention away from stress.

• Talk therapy: Seeing a therapist may help some people work through stress and discover additional techniques to change how they respond to stress.

• Situation changes: Changing a job, residence or a condition that removes a source of stress may be handy.

Many people suffer from stress, which can be very harmful if not dealt with healthily and readily.

How To Pet Proof Your Home When Decking The Halls

• Secure the Christmas tree. Pets may sniff around the tree or investigate it closely, which can increase the chances that it tips over. That poses a signiﬁcant safety hazard and underscores the importance of using a sturdy stand. Fastening the tree to a wall, much like one might do with a television that isn’t mounted, adds a further layer of protection from tip-overs.

• Block off the base of a live tree. Drinking water from a tree stand could increase the risk of the tree tipping over and the water could upset the stomach of pets if the tree was treated with pesticides prior to being brought home. When decorating with a live tree, make sure the base of the tree where the water will be is blocked off. A small fence around the tree could keep curious pets away. The room where the tree is located should be locked or inaccessible when pets are home alone.

• Inspect and conceal light wires. Lighting wires should always be inspected prior to decorating and frayed or damaged wires should be thrown away, even if it means replacing lights. If wires are still sturdy, conceal them along the base of the wall using a cable concealer, which prevents pets from chewing on them.

• Avoid lighting candles. Candles should not be lit in homes with pets. Even candles on shelves that are seemingly beyond pets’ reach can be hazardous, as pets, especially cats, have a way of accessing spaces they seemingly shouldn’t be able to reach. Use electric candles in lieu of traditional ones.

• Speak to a vet about seasonal plants and ﬂowers before bringing them into the home. Pet owners should speak with their veterinarians before bringing poinsettias, holly and other seasonal plants and ﬂowers into their homes. Some pets could suffer allergic reactions if they eat certain seasonal plants.

SIGHTS TO SEE AT FALL HARVEST FESTIVALS

Wagon rides - Farms and the tools of the farming trade are part of harvest festivals. Wagons transporting crops are a classic sight, even if they’re no longer heavily relied upon on the farm. Rather than a cargo bed full of corn or apples, harvest festivals tote families around on wagon rides or on hay bale beds towed by tractors.

REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME

Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that may be lurking in homes even if homeowners are unaware of its presence. Although it is a naturally occurring substance, radon has the potential to cause serious illness. Therefore, its detection and reduction are paramount.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General’s Ofﬁce have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The EPA further notes that many homes are in radon danger areas. Nearly one in three homes checked in seven states and on three lands designated for Native Americans had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA’s recommended action level for radon exposure. According to Air Chek, Inc., a radon testing resource, a radon level of 4 pCi/l is equal to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if a person was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

WHEN YOU SHOP LOCAL, YOU INVEST IN MORE THAN JUST A PRODUCT –YOU INVEST IN YOUR TOWN!

• They create jobs. Small businesses employ our neighbors, friends, and family members, keeping our community strong and thriving.

• You get personal service. Local shop owners know their customers, offer expert advice, and take pride in their products. No automated customer service, just real people who care!

& Strengthen Our Community

• Unique ﬁnds, not mass-produced goods. Local stores carry one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, and locally sourced products that you won’t ﬁnd at big-name retailers.

Brighter

Parking Lot ank You

Thank you to the kind woman that noticed that I was in distress trying to ﬁnd my vehicle in the Geneseo Walmart parking lot the other day. She watched me search with no success and offered to drive me up and down the aisles until we found it. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I am so grateful.

Wonderful Volunteers

Ambassadors like you at the Brockport Welcome Center on the Erie Canal are the backbone of our organization and your generosity means the world to the people we serve. Brockport is so grateful to have you, our volunteers, as part of our team and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Wonderful Poem

I thoroughly enjoyed Douglas W. Williams’ poem “Leaves” that was published in the October 24 issue of the Penny Saver. It is playful and creative and perfectly captures the spirit of this beautiful time of year in upstate New York.

House Nunmbers & Lighting

As a delivery person--often at night-- I see a great need for better lighting and placement of visible house/apartment numbers! PLEASE, for your own safety and that of others, put an easily visible address number on your house. It could be lifesaving if emergency folks are called. If you expect a delivery of food, you would want it delivered promptly and in the correct location. Do not blame the service if your house or apartment lacks a number. When several lack numbers even a ﬂashlight does not help.

Also, PLEASE provide better lighting; there are many lowcost options for entrances & inner foyers. If you expect delivery of a good hot meal, make sure your dwelling has adequate lighting! Paths with bikes, ladders, toys, etc. in the dark do not help. We do all we can to ensure prompt & satisfactory delivery. Please consider taking your part in keeping deliveries safer with visible address numbers and helpful lighting. Thank you!

Restaurant Nickel and Diming

My wife and I and another couple went out to eat on Saturday night. The food was great and the bill with tip was not bad. The only bad spot was they charged us $3.50 for another helping of bread. With their prices for dinner, why do restaurants always nickel and dime you? We will not be back. Breakfast restaurants have extra charges too (if you want raisins with your oatmeal, they charge 25¢ more for the meal). Why for such little extras?

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

y do we turn down help?

All too frequently we seniors don’t ask for help when we need it, using as an excuse that others need it more. Sound familiar?

Our local senior center decided to host a free holiday dinner a few weeks before Christmas this year. It was to be a full turkey dinner, with several courses, a sit-down affair with table service from the Community Club at the high school.They needed to limit it to 100 people, and advance signup was required. Color them amazed when a full week after the announcement, there were still well over 50 dinner slots available.

Staff starting manning the phones,calling senior center members to ask if they’d heard about the dinner.Yes, people had heard.Yes, it sounded lovely. But no, they wouldn’t be signing up for it. Other people, many stated, needed the free dinner more.

This did not surprise me. After all the times I’ve talked to seniors around me about how it was OK for them to go to the food bank, that it was OK to ask for help -- no, I wasn’t shocked that many were turning down a free holiday dinner at the senior center.

Does this describe you? Someone who would turn down free things, saying that others might need it more?

There’s more to it when we decline help, other reasons, if we’re going to be honest with ourselves. Mostly we fear loss of independence. Somehow we equate getting help at the food bank -- or a free turkey dinner -- with not being able to take care of ourselves, thus possibly inviting scrutiny from others who might start questioning our ability to manage our lives.

I was not surprised when the senior center changed their promotion for the free dinner to say they would welcome donations, and the rest of the slots ﬁlled up.

KIDS’ COLORING CONTEST

Jamaica Lime Pie Serves 6

Filling

4 large egg yolks

1 large egg white

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 partially baked 9-inch pie crust, chilled Meringue

3 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

6 tablespoons sugar

To make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and egg white until they are very thick and lemoncolored. Stir in the condensed milk, lime juice and salt until well blended. Pour into the chilled pie shell. Refrigerate for several hours to allow the filling to set.

Shortly before serving, make the meringue. Preheat the oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with the cream of tartar until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar, and continue beating until it is dissolved. By then the meringue should be stiff and glossy. Spread over the filling, being sure to seal the edges well so that the meringue will not shrink.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until delicately browned. Let cool away from drafts.

HomeCare & Hospice Foundation Provides Comfort Beyond Care

BY SARAH NEGRON, HCH AGENCY RELATIONS COORDINATOR AND SUZIE WELLS

When Kevin H., an Allegany County resident and hospice patient, recognized he needed more than just care, HomeCare & Hospice Foundation was there to help.

Nestled on the side of a hill in Wellsville, in a home his father built himself, Kevin spends his time playing video games with online friends, using his virtual reality headset, and spending time with family which includes his cat, Beatrice.

A er receiving a diagnosis of melanoma and learning treatment was no longer an option, Buﬀalo’s Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center referred Kevin to local hospice services.

“I was amazed at how quickly the process moved,” Kevin says. “ e next day I had a hospital bed and all the supplies I needed.” In addition to the bed, he received a shower chair, walker, and bandages, which Kevin was previously handling himself and said were becoming expensive.

Since starting hospice at the beginning of September, Kevin says he feels better and looks forward to visits from social workers and nurses. Hospice staﬀ assists with his medications and provided a pill minder, so he remembers to take his medicine daily, something he previously struggled with.

When asked if there was anything else he needed, Kevin realized there was – a freezer for his ice cream, which he said is the only thing his stomach agrees with these days. Hospice social workers Lauren Idzik and Hanna Nunn immediately went to work to get a freezer for Kevin.

HomeCare & Hospice Foundation takes pride in providing compassionate care for their patients, not just for medical needs but for things that can help make the end-of-life journey easier. e HomeCare & Hospice Foundation quickly approved the purchase of a freezer for Kevin.

“It made my day to see Lauren and Hanna bring the freezer in and gave us a lot of laughs,” Kevin says.

Despite his diagnosis, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family and the activities he loves while receiving care and support from hospice. Most recently he traveled to Arizona with his brother, father, and uncle, exploring the state and making trips to the Grand Canyon and to Las Vegas.

What’s next for Kevin? He’s planning a trip to Johnstown, PA with his mother and continuing to enjoy the simple joys in his day-to-day life, such as hiding the ATV from his dad, enjoying his mom’s cookies, family time, and, of course, peanut butter cup ice cream.

HomeCare & Hospice: Compassionate Care Close to Home

For more than ﬁve decades, HomeCare & Hospice has provided comfort, dignity, and compassionate medical support to individuals and families across Western New York. Serving Allegany, Cattaraugus, Genesee, and Wyoming counties–and portions of surrounding areas–the organization has become a trusted source of home-based health and hospice care since its founding in 1971.

e story began when a group of community members recognized the need for an alternative to nursing home placement for dependent elderly residents. eir vision led to the creation of Olean Homemaker Services, oﬀering in-home support to help people remain safely in familiar surroundings. As community needs grew, the organization hired its ﬁrst registered nurse in 1979 and, a decade later, expanded its reach and became Home Health Care of Southwestern New York.

In 1990, with approval from the state and support from a grant, the agency established the Comstock Hospice Care Network, leading to the admission of its ﬁrst hospice patients in early 1992. In March 2000,HospiceFamilyCareinBataviaandWyoming Area Homemaker Service in Warsaw merged with the agency, creating the uniﬁed HomeCare & Hospice that serves the region today.

Most timely, we seek stories or story ideas about holiday light displays (with no admission fee) by local citizens we haven’t yet covered in this column, as well as ideas about people and organizations spreading holiday cheer around the community. Thank you!

HomeCare & Hospice’s mission is rooted in providing medical care, emotional support, and comfort for patients coping with life-limiting illnesses–and for the families who walk beside them. A dedicated team of registered nurses, social workers, hospice aides, spiritual care providers, and volunteers work together to manage pain and symptoms, answer questions, and bring peace of mind during challenging times. eir care extends beyond the patient, oﬀering counseling, respite, and education to loved ones and caregivers.

Hospice services may begin when a physician determines that a patient’s life expectancy is six months or less, and care continues as long as it is needed. Patients and families are encouraged to start conversations about hospice early, o en ﬁnding that the support, understanding, and companionship it provides make all the diﬀerence.

rough every visit, every conversation, and every act of compassion, HomeCare & Hospice continues its original mission: helping people live with comfort, dignity, and the support of a caring community–wherever they call home.

Anyone can make the ﬁrst call to hospice. If you or someone you know may beneﬁt from HomeCare & Hospice services, please call 716-372-5735, email referral@homecare-hospice.org, or visit homecare-hospice.org.

SIMPLIFY COOKING FOR A CROWD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Start early.

If the big party is on Christmas Day, that does not mean hosts have to start cooking while everyone unwraps their presents. Hosts who are uncertain about what to cook can look for meals that can be prepared in advance so come the big day all they need to do is turn on the oven and let meals cook while the family spends time together.

It Finds You

By Erin Snow

A red thread, Woven by the fates, Invisible yet unyielding, Twisting and stretching through time, To bind hearts destined to meet.

rough countless realities, In every lifetime, It ﬁnds you —

A love unbroken, Woven by the fates, Set in motion by the universe, It ﬁnds you —

Whether their hands are rough or gentle, eir voice so or heavy, eir love deﬁant, Refusing to ﬁt in, e world’s narrow box

You may not see it, May not recognize them at ﬁrst — But you will know.

In time, e red thread tightens, Drawing you home

By Sam Mazotta

What’s the best age to spay or neuter a dog?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: When should I get my purebred puppy spayed? “Macy” is a rambunctious, 6-month-old Bernese, and I’m getting conﬂicting information from friends and my vet. My friends say that she should go through one or two heat cycles before I get her ﬁxed.The vet wants it done right away. Who’s right? -- Carol H., via email

DEAR CAROL: Oh, wow. This is quite a topic of conversation in my pet circles, as I’m sure it is with your fellow pet owners. I don’t think anyone is going to be super happy with my answer, because I’m not going to give you a deﬁnitive age at which puppies should be spayed or neutered. Instead, I’m going to punt this to the American Kennel Club (AKC), which has a great article on why recommended ages differ: www. akc.org/expert-advice/vets-corner/neutering-spaying-rightage-dog.

With that said, I commend you on making the decision to spay your puppy. Among owners of purebred dogs, deciding if and when to “ﬁx” them is sometimes a tough choice. However, if an owner does not intend to breed their dog (responsibly, of course), spaying or neutering can curb some undesired behaviors and prevent some health problems.

If you decide to spay Macy after her ﬁrst or second heat, wait until the heat cycle has completed before undergoing the procedure. This will reduce the possibility of excessive bleeding. Also, keep her under your control during her heat cycle -- indoors unless you’re walking her. When you take her for walks, stay next to her and keep her on a strong leash. It will amaze you how many dogs become intensely interested in Macy as you pass by. Keep your distance from all of them during this period.
