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.

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.

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

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

Hi, I had CABG x3 on 17th Oct and I am recovering very well. However, one of the graft was from left arm. The graft was taken out using 2 holes in the arm (thankfully) but I feel lot os soreness and numbness in the palm and thumb. Sometimes, based on my movement , I get severe nerve shock which just

on Wednesday I had a very complicated procedure resulting in a stent and three balloons being inserted into an artery it took 4.5 hours during the procedure I arrested three times and had to be shocked. This all followed a 3 x CABG in May 23 which failed almost immediately. This has been the most traumatic

My husband had a double bypass on 2 October and last Thursday the top of his leg wound began to bleed (very little). Has anyone else experienced this. There is no infection as far as I can see but it is and always has been a little swollen. Eventually got a District nurse to agree to assess and dress

Not posted on here for a while as recovery going better than I had previously worried about. Now just after 6 months since triple CABG I have had a routine ECG and they have discovered that I have atrial flutter and want me to have an ablation to cure it. In the meantime I have to take Apixaban instead

4.5 weeks post CABG - everything going great. Except sleep. I seem to manage 1 hour at a time max - then I wake up. Around 2/3 in the morning I am wide awake and then at 4:30/5 I get the longest spell of unbroken sleep (around 2 hours). I am a bit achy in the day, not really bad, worst aches in shoulders
