I've been prescribed diazepam for pain which I'm taking twice daily alongside, paracetamol and menfamic acid. Is this residual pain from

How to get an MRI?
Hello Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to how I can get an MRI before I have my first Laparoscopy please? They’ve been able to diagnose Adenomyosis through ultrasound and want to give me a Laparoscopy for suspected Endometriosis, however my concern is that I have been presenting with bowel

post menopause bleeding
Hi all, I’m a 64 year old woman whose periods stopped when I was 50, I chose HRT after a few years of non stop daytime sweats, zero concentration and bursting into tears at the drop of a hat 🙈 I stopped the HRT back in 2020 but had to start it again last year as the sweats returned with a vengeance

I then had terrible burning/itcing all over the torso for which I was prescribed strong pills. I have had a bad yeast problem

Good PMR specialist in Bristol/WestonSM?
GP diagnosed me with PMR in May 2022. I had difficulties reducing below 18mg so she referred me to a consultant at Bristol Royal Infirmary. He is very kind and sympathetic but refuses to confirm the diagnosis of PMR. He says I am too young - I’m 56 - and he’s run every test in the book on me (MRI, PET

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?
