Pelvic Pain Support Network
19,585 members
This community is run by the Pelvic Pain Support Network, a registered charity. The community forum exists to support those who wish to share and learn from others who have abdominal and/or pelvic pain and to provide peer support in managing the pain. It is moderated by trustees and members of the charity who are volunteers with personal experience of pelvic pain. Pelvic pain can be caused by many conditions affecting the pelvis such as adenomyosis, adhesions, endometriosis, painful periods, bladder pain, pelvic nerve damage, pudendal neuralgia, irritable bowel syndrome. One or more of these may be present or the person may not have a diagnosis. Pain that exists for 6 months or more, either intermittently or constant, is a condition in its own right. This community forum exists to support those who have had pain in the abdomen/pelvis for 6 months or longer with or without a diagnosis.
LSN
5,746 members
Welcome to the Lymphoedema Support Network community. The LSN is a registered charity run by people who live with lymphoedema. Lymphoedema is a build up of fluid resulting in swelling that develops as a result of an impaired lymphatic system. This may be because the lymphatic system has not developed properly or through damage or trauma. It can affect any part of the body but is most commonly seen in an arm or a leg. Although thought to be relatively uncommon, a recent study has estimated that at least 240,000 people in the UK may be affected. Although lymphoedema can't be cured, its main symptoms of swelling and the risk of infection in the affected area can, with treatment, be controlled and often significantly improved. The LSN offers a telephone information and support line, quarterly newletters, a wide range of fact sheets, a website, self management advice and much more.

Active Surveillance - Prostate Cancer

Active Surveillance is about men diagnosed with prostate cancer, trying to maintain the highest quality of life and living long enough to die from something else. We're about supporting each other in a world where overtreatment is the norm and where people just don't understand why men with cancer might want to delay or avoid treatment.
