Experiences with

Bone graft

I am wondering if anyone has had this surgery,I need to have it carried out with an iliac crest bone graft and tendon transfer. I have exhausted all other avenues. If anyone has experience with this I would be interested to hear.

Tooth extracted, implant inserted with some bone graft. Not pleasant but it didn’t hurt at all. Followed the hygiene instructions to the letter. Lived on cheesy mash, eggs and other soft food for a week. Lost 5lb 😂Went back to 3.5 mg pred the day after, then 3mg since.

After a morning of being at the hospital helping my mom who has several medical Issues I was rushing to my own pulmonary rehab for persistent respiratory damage following my first Sept. covid infection then BOOM! Slipped on ICE in a parking lot, fully broke arm bone between elbow & shoulder. Surgeon

But this very young oral surgeon from UCLA, says since I've been off the bisphosphonates for 5 + years, the surgery, bone graft, and an implant should be no problem. I'm currently tapering from 3.5 to 3.0 on my pred. I'm very nervous about all this.

However it has become increasingly painful and I have trouble walking on it, following an x Ray it was found that the pins had come loose and the bones haven’t healed back so I was told an ankle fusion would be the best thing to have which might also need a bone graft.

Hi Everyone Just a quick follow up to my recent removal of a malignant Melanoma. I mentioned recently a plastic surgeon I was referred to here in a small regional city in Western Australia completely refused to do the wider area excision required to be sure of no spread of satellite cells unless I [

Hello Everyone - It has been awhile again as I have felt reluctant to come to terms with the now clear FACT that my PMR/GCA have never really disappeared after 7 years. I am still on my lowest dose of 8.5mg of Pred which I have been unable to reduce any further - especially in the last few months with

Finally I can give you all an update.I've been to my Endocrinologist (1st time)and I am now on a 6 month waiting list for the Radioactive Iodine treatment. I then had my bone density scan. Then back to the doctor for bloods as the result showed Osteoporosis secondary to Hyperthyroidism (the latter diagnosed

{added after reading this -trigger warnings for pretty much everything] hello everyone - don’t worry - this is hopefully a calm normal post rather than recent more difficult ones I am not looking for diagnosis or for professional help (this is trying to happen seperately) because this isn’t the purpose

Hello darlings!I'm going to ramble. I'm still really fuckin confused and angry and flabbergast and so much older and struggling and fighting and full of questions after nearly 5 years!! I don't want to talk about the bloody positives. I want to know stuff that only we know. Am I the only poor bastard

Got a circumcision From day 2 after taking the wrap off I noticed a small open wound created by one of the sutures leading into the prepuce near the corona. as well as sutures with strange knot formations with smaller less noticeable wounds. One of the strange knot formations is where the open cut

I am now in my mid-sixties and was diagnosed with CLL four years; I remain on watch and wait. At around the same time I started getting multiple lesions on my face; some were cancerous and required skin grafts, some were not. At my last appointment with the plastic surgeon I asked why I keep getting

hi Just wondering if anybody has experience of taking a small dose of lorazepam before a surgical procedure done under a local anaesthetic. I am having a MOHs procedure for skin cancer (bcc) on my nose in two weeks and quite frankly I am terrified. the procedure involves taking layers and examining

Hi 10 years ago i had full circumcision but i have Phimosis need circumcision for that now. Bit worried as i was circumcision 2013 hope everything be ok. Will i need skin graft i been hearing i may need it. How long will this operation be?

I recently had to have surgery on my face for Basal Cell Carcinomas (a not too drastic skin problem from sun damage). As I have multiple health issues the surgeon decided on a general anaesthetic to do skin grafts. I checked in and when the anaesthetist saw me I asked if he had seen the letter from

I’m awaiting a CABG, won’t be for 3 to 4 months. I’ve been retired for several years, my original retirement plans included moving to Spain and to this end we purchased a property. However as life throws up curved balls our plans changed, grandchildren and now elderly parents became our priorities

Hi everybody, I'm 7 weeks post op AVR and CABG, had pneumonia and 8 heart day heart block so my recovery had a slow start. Caught a cold at 5 weeks which knocked me back a bit and spent a few days "hugging a cushion". Anyway, all that behind me at 7 weeks I'm feeling good, not taking painkillers, chest

Hi, I am nearing 4 weeks post triple CABG. One of the graft was taken from left arm. My overall recovery is going well but the left arm thumb feels numb and have needle like pain. I also get occasional unberable electric shock which travel all the way to brain. When I showed it to GP, she just checked

Hi Forum. This place has been so helpful in my last two posts.. I am 4months post CABG this week. So checking if I should have concerns or is this just normal progress. My left leg where I had two grafts taken from is still driving me crazy with pain that feels like something attacking inside my

We’ll today the jury came in and he definitely isn’t going to stent me. Met with the surgeon and he thinks the way forward is bypass and not stents. Reality is although I feel good in myself he believes stents may fail in a very short time and a bypass will become necessary. Can’t say I took the news
