Ceasing Apixaban
I am due for knee
joint
replacement
surgery. Can anyone relate their experience with stopping and starting Apixaban before and after the operation. I also take Ramipril, will I need to stop this for a while?. Thanks

Happy New Year
Leg muscles are still stiff but supporting ‘dodgy’ knees although not apparently bad enough to justify

bisoprolol
Has anyone else needed a
joint
replacement
? And if so how did you manage pain with any existing meds. I’ve tried diclofenac but after a week it was undermining my bisoprolol and my bp was increasing. Tnx

Over 50
I have been struggling withy weight for years. I started putting on weight when I started depression medication. Now I'm over 50 still battling obesity. Growing up I was very active,but that has decreased due arthritis and joint replacements. I'm starting a new year looking for support from others.

Sacroiliac joint fusion
After many painful years I'm on the NHS list for sacroiliac joint fusion. Of course there is a 12 month waiting list. Has any one had this operation done privately? Struggling to find a private consultant in Yorkshire.

Raynauds and Hypermobility
Hello, I've been diagnosed with primary Raynauds which is getting worse. I've had blood tests to rule out other conditions, but they've all been negative. Should I be pushing for a nailfold capillorthingy (technical term...)? I've also got colitis, irritable bladder, some joint hypermobility so I'm

Upset after consultation
Hi everyone. Sorry for long post but I think it helped me writing this out. I just had a consultation with rheumatologist which didn't go well. I had antibiotics back in Feb and came off the Baricitinib for a week and then was referred for colonoscopy/biopsies. I spoke to helpline and nurse said

Diagnosis of Sigmoid volvulus 3 weeks ago and an emergency operation via colon righted it temporarily.
I am recovering slowly from the shock of the above diagnosis. The surgeon said he will have to do a major abdominal operation (which he is reluctant to do whilst I am on Prednisolone, I was on 6 mg 3 weeks ago but now on 5mg) as healing and infection could be post operative problems. So I saw my Rheumatologist

I had a knee replaced on Sept 14. My oncologist took me off Ibrance two weeks before and I am supposed to startup again two weeks after the replacement. Has anyone else had this surgery and how long was your Ibrance delayed after the surgery? I am curious what other oncologists recommend as far as

Just some good news
Just wanted to update you all on this in case anyone is thinking of surgery to fix something non-cancer related. My husband was looking into getting a hip replacement back in 2021 when he was diagnosed with PC. So the hip replacement was put on hold,. But the hip arthritis kept getting worse and he
