delayed reconstruction
I had a subdural haemorrhage in may 2023 removing most of the right side of my scull even encroached my forehead that’s some 10 months ago now. I was supposed to receive reconstructive surgery and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That

Thrombus at a young age - potential ASD or PFO
Hello all, Had a heart attack in my 30s this year but my arteries weren’t blocked. MRI found a thrombus in the left ventricle and evidence of apical MI. Only had mild heart disease and some evidence of pericarditis. The thrombus is thankfully gone but they also seem to suggest the Apical MI has gone

implant Surgery Tomorrow
The dental surgeon says to take 10 mg prednisolone in the morning before having the tooth extracted and implant put in. She knows I’m currently on 3-3.5 mg and has PMR long term. She says the extra is to help with the anxiety/stress and that as my body likely isn’t producing cortisol of its own this

My son’s Testosterone results:
Last week I posted my son’s three month PSA test and learned that it was the same as last time <0.10 and now I have the matching testosterone results of 7.0. How good or bad is that? I am unfamiliar with testosterone numbers after all the medicines he’s taken, and radiation. I don’t know what the previous

Long time no see.
I have not posted for a long time but I do follow the site . I had PMR in 2016 and did not react very well to the Pred. I managed to come off it completely last year after paying privately to see an endocronologist. When I say "see" I mean phone calls because of Covid. I still have problems and

Endometriosis after hysterectomy?
Hi all I’m just looking for some advice. I had surgery (laparoscopy) in 2019 to laser the endometriosis off. I have since had a son 3 years ago (c-section) and in March this year I had a hysterectomy (kept ovaries that’s it) and laparoscopy to cut the endo away again. It was on my ovaries, fallopian

Suitability for Virtual Clinic Assessment
My partner has had a poor experience of virtual clinics - each time he is transferred across to virtual he is then recalled to face to face - frequently late and has twice needed priority P1 surgery. Recently I noticed that the Royal College of Ophthalmologists had guidance on deciding who should be

Alternate prostate treatment
I saw a brief article in the current AARP magazine. Wondering if this is accurate: “In a recent study of 115 midlife and older men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who had their prostate gland completely treated via TULSA-Pro (ultrasound heat), 96 percent of participants saw their PSA

Has anyone ever had RSD/CRPS and also gotten chronic tendonitis/tendinosis in both wrists?
I posted this in the pain concern but I figured someone here might have CRPS/RSD which is what I have. I have full body crps/rsd in all four limbs. Usually I take Tramadol and it controls my pain 100%. Thank God. However I injured myself in June doing physical therapy exercises in order to try to strengthen

Undiagnosed Chronic pelvic pain

Indeterminate liver lesion
I had an MRI 3 months ago that showed a 6cmx5cm lesion. I had a follow up 3 months later with eovist that showed same size, heterogenous "indeterminate lesion, possible adenoma". No one seems to know what this is and I am freaking out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do I do a biopsy? Straight

Spontaneous Subdural Hematoma
I am 58 years old. A few months I started to develop headaches and neck pain that gradually increased in severity. I eventually went to the ER and was diagnosed with a minor subdural hematoma (SDH) based upon a CT Scan and was sent home for follow-up with a neurosurgeon. I have had no recent head
