jaw pain
A few weeks ago I noticed that I couldn’t open my mouth as wide as I normally could without pain on the left side. Also, if I yawn and forget not to open it too wide I get a horrible pain and twisted feeling in my neck and throat. I went to the doctor’s surgery this week and saw a senior health practitioner

Pain Concern
I’m waiting for my 7th referral to the Pain Clinic. My first was in 2014. I have read all the information again and again and again and nothing has changed. Why am I expected to go through this all over again when nothing has changed (apart from incomplete/out of date sites). It seems I just have to

should I start interferon?
I’d be grateful for any advice or guidance on starting Interferon for ET CalR mutation. I was diagnosed with ET approximately 12 years ago when I was 57. I took Hydroxycarbamide in increasing doses over an approximate 6 year period when the efficacy of the drug began to wane. I was then prescribed

Order of brachyboost
Does anyone know if there is any difference in outcomes if you do the LDR brachytherapy before EBRT or vise versa? Initially we were told it would be EBRT first. Now it looks like the RO is scheduling the brachytherapy first. She is inserting the SpacerOAR and marker for the EBRT during the brachy surgery

I am seriously considering having DBS but am wondering if there are others who have successfully had this surgery to alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back & lower back. Please share any experiences with this as well as anything else you may have found that works. I am desperate. Thank you

Anyone treated at St. George's? First surgery nerves.
Hi all. I'm having my first surgery at St. George's in London in less than two weeks. Does anyone have experience of being treated there? I'm nervous as I've had minimal information and don't feel very prepared. Also I have only been given two weeks notice for the surgery as there was a cancellation

Struggling coming off ropinerole
First thank you for all the replies to my earlier posts, before my second hip replacement. 4 weeks post surgery I am decreasing ropinerole slowly, just dropped from 0.75mg to 0.5mg after 2 weeks on 0.75mg. But struggling with symptoms starting early afternoon and getting worse as the evening progressed

circumcision and work
Hello, I had my circumcision done 5 days ago. May I know for the guys who took time off work, how many days did you take before you returned to work? And how do you go about your day at work? Like did you use a bandage? Also around how many days after the surgery did you guys start having meals

Advice from you amazing ladies regarding adrenal fatigue whilst tapering.
I am just coming to the end of my four week taper following Dorset Lady seven week plan and for the last two days have had fatigue and aching all over my body. I did not expect this at this stage, I thought that would happen when I got down to about 7mgs, could this be my adrenal glands or possibly

Why do GP like to group everything as depression and anxiety?
HI All I have questions about NHS and GP which I never understood. This is based of my experience of dealing with GPs not possible not a norm I am not sure why this so normalised. 1) Why do GPs prefer to brand every symptom (exhaustion, memory loss, tiredness, sleep disorder so many more) under

Managing Pudendal Neuralgia pain
Hi all, I joined this forum to remain on top of developments around the complex pelvic floor issues affecting women and to seek support from others. In my experience these are generally poorly understood by doctors in the UK especially at consultant level and there is an absence of multi agency support

What are the better treatments for metastasis of the bone and pelvic lymph nodes?
Just found out the past few weeks from a biopsy and a PET/CT scan that the cancer was not contained in the prostate but metastasized to the pelvic lymph nodes and the bones. Was a surprise to me and to the urologist as well. He is recommending no surgery but a multimodal therapy with androgen deprivation

electric tug down leg
Hi, I have just had another back surgery, fusing L5 to S1 and pelvis for nerve pain that is going down the back of my leg , front of knee and top of foot. It feels like someone has an electric cattle prod and running it up and down the back of my leg, it is horrendous. The op did nothing to relieve it

self-inject intramuscular vitamin B12
Hi all,I often read these posts but not very often write in. I was diagnosed with PA in 2000 using the schillings test. I have been having IM injections every 3 months ever since. However since COVID I have been self injecting. My surgery does not really support that, so I just buy supplies from Germany

Voice weak after thyroidectomy
I had a thyroidectomy 5 years ago and after surgery had a check on vocal cords which were fine. However my voice has recently become a bit weaker and I constantly have to cough to clear my throat. Is this normal so long after surgery?
