6 days post circumcision concerns
I’m on my 6th day of recovery from a full circumcision, and although the incision wound looks to be healing well I have a few concerns. 1. The head of my penis feels very sensitive as you would expect, however below the head where the stitches are feels very tight and is making the head feel as though

Aortic Valve and root replacement - Story of my journey which I hope will help and inspire others who are feeling anxious about surgery.
Hi everyone, I am now 4 months post-surgery and doing really well. I know there are a lot of people who are due to have open heart surgery that are feeling anxious and worried so I thought I would share my journey with you including the daily diary that my wife and I kept during my week in hospital

buprenorphine, pregablin, opiates
Hi all. In the ongoing battle to get things stable I have been able to decrease my buprenorphine to under .5mg sublingual (from 2mg) and pregablin to 100mg (from 225mg). RLS is mostly managed well which is terrific but I can't say that I feel much less tired overall having decreased dosages. Like

Do I need to go back on Thyroxine?
Just a heads up folks, this is going to be a long post! I have been off thyroxine for just over a year now, I will attempt to explain in a long winded way how this came about. I was put on thyroxine when I went into menopause which happened before I was 50 (I am now 62). I have always been on 50mg,

Steroid rash
I've been taking Prednisolone for a year and have developed a red itchy steroid rash on my face. Can it be managed naturally without running off to the surgery. I use make up when I go anywhere but I wonder if that irritates it further. I am reducing my Pred. but I'm on 9mg still.

total knee replacement triggering RLS
I had a left knee replacement surgery April 10th this year. My right knee is also “bone on bone” from osteoarthritis and I’m dreading getting a second one as its been a rough recovery, and the RLS return has me worried too. 4 months out I’m getting stronger week by week although I’m definitely not

No to Lansoprazole
Well my GP is not prepared to issue me a prescription for Lansoprazole as she says my results from the endoscopy having been on esomeprazole for now over 3 and a half years prove that it is effective and 30mg Lansoprazole may not be so . She is willing to reconsider if the GI consultant says different

Urgent! Cataract surgery info.
I was booked to have cataract surgery this coming Monday and the hospital contacted the surgeon and said because of APS I have to have single use instruments because the eye tissue is delicate?? My surgeon is a skilled man and I have complete faith in him but he said in all his years of doing this surgery

Mitral valve replacement with tricuspid repair
I am trying to come to terms with facing open heart surgery shortly for severe mitral valve disease and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. I am 77 with other health issues and I am concerned about the length of time I'll need to recover. I spoke to my GP today to discuss the consultant's findings and

Cataract surgery
Has anyone had successful cataract surgery with high myopia along with BRVO? I'm due to have surgery at the end of September but know that it is more risky in very shortsighted people. Also added complications with having a retinol occlusion. I opted to go to Moorfields because of their good reputation

Alternative to Naproxen
Good morning all, hope you are coping well. I recently had surgery for Spinal Stenosis in my lower back, but on coming out of hospital developed a dvt in my leg. Due to this blood clot I have been put on Rivaroxaban (blood thinners). Because of this blood thinner I have had to come off of Naproxen (

Trabeculectomy advice please
Hi, I am a newbie to this forum. I am nearly 62, and female. I was diagnosed with advanced glaucoma in June 2024 and told I need to have a trabeculectomy in both eyes. I was completely devastated, especially as 6 months ago I had open heart surgery to have an aortic valve replacement. My consultant

GI Report and recommedations
Ok so I have the written report from the GI consultant which thank goodness is overall very reassuring. Advice now at recommends continued treatment with dietary changes, frequent and small meals, no spicy and nothing 3-4 hours prior to bedtime. Although in all honesty laying down is not a major issue
