Q: Obesity can predispose people to developing a pinched nerve the excess weight can add pressure to different parts of your body. Women are at greater risk for a pinched nerve because they are more likely to develop a syndrome called carpal tunnel, a condition of numbness and tingling sensation in the thumb, middle and index finger.  This doesn't affect the back, but it does wreak havoc on the hands and arms. When women become pregnant and gain a large amount of weight, they are more like to get a pinched nerve. Pinched nerves may also be the result of performing repetitive or strenuous activities. Think about your hobbies, daily activities, and any recent activities that might have contributed to your pinched nerve. For example, a repetitive activity like knitting or typing may lead to a pinched nerve in your wrist. Likewise, a strenuous physical activity like running may lead to a pinched nerve in your hip or back. If you have rheumatoid arthritis or wrist arthritis, then this also increases your risk of developing a pinched nerve. If you have arthritis, be sure to start treatment now to decrease your chances of developing a pinched nerve. If a family member has a history of pinched nerves, then you're at higher risk of getting them. Some people are predisposed to having a pinched nerve because one of their family members or relatives has a history of it. Talk to your family — Does anyone else suffer from having a pinched nerve? Do they know anyone, even distantly related, who does? If conditions that lead to obesity or arthritis run in your family, you're more likely to get a pinched nerve as a symptom of these health issues. This condition makes your spine hard and lose its flexibility. This, in turn, makes the space for your nerves in the spinal cord narrower, eventually causing a pinched nerve in the back. Bone spurs generally form where bones meet — that is, your joints. But they can form where the bones meet in your spine, too. Technically, they're called osteophytes and they're little bony projections that stick out along the edges of bones. Not great for your nerves at all! Poor posture can increase your risk of having a pinched nerve. If you don't sit or stand correctly, your back may get out of alignment and lead to a pinched nerve. If you think your posture may be your back pain culprit, consider reading How to Improve Your Posture or How to Improve Posture While Sleeping.
A: Know that if you're obese, you're at higher risk. Be aware that your sex plays a role, too. Think about your lifestyle and recent activities. Know that rheumatoid arthritis or wrist arthritis also is a factor. Consider your family history. Take bone spurs into account as well. Consider your posture.

Q: Type the title of the article in title case, capitalizing the first word and all nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adverbs. Enclose the title of the article in double quotations.

Then type the date in month-day-year format, including as specific a date as is available. Place a comma after the date, then type the page number or page range where the article appears. Place a period after the page number. If the source is non-paginated, place a period after the date of publication. Example: "English Language Arts Standards." Common Core Standards Initiative, 2017. If you found the article online, include a direct URL or permalink for the article at the end of your bibliography entry. Chicago style does not specifically require a date of access. However, include one if your instructor or supervisor wants it. Place a period at the end. Example: "English Language Arts Standards." Common Core Standards Initiative, 2017. http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/. Place a superscripted number at the end of any sentence where you paraphrase or quote the source. The footnote includes the same information as the bibliography entry. However, elements of the citation are separated with commas rather than periods.

Q: Follow all of the steps previously mentioned, from preparing the yeast mixture to removing excess gasses from the dough. When you have removed the excess gasses from the dough, place it on a clean surface and stretch it out with a rolling pin. It shouldn't be too thin.  In the middle of the dough (lengthways), place half of the pastry cream and all of the figs in syrup. Roll up the dough and join the ends to give it a ring shape. Use the rest of the ingredients to decorate the top of the ring, starting with the remaining pastry cream and following with the candied orange peel, almonds, and Maraschino cherries. Pre-heat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Place the ring in the oven and cook it for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the ring from the oven and dust it with powdered sugar. Wait for it to cool before serving.
