Surgery and immuno suppressants
Hi everyone. I am due to have minor surgery on my wrist and have been asked by my surgeon to cease taking mycophenolate for a week before and a week after my operation (I presumed because of possible risk of infection?). I spoke to my rheumatologist about this and she considered it unnecessary to stop

paroxysmal AF and flying

continuing back pain
I was diagnose with 2b Ovarian Cancer in April 22. I had surgery and 6 rounds of Chemo. I have a very supportive team . I have had an MRI , CT and spinal x-ray all have shown degenerative changes to my spine. There is no evidence of recurrence. My CA125 is 13. The problem is I’m consumed with anxiety

Preserflo Surgery - When will the Blurriness heal?
Hi everyone, my husband just had a preserflo surgery on his right eye. It's his 5th day post op but he is complaining that he can't see at all, it's so blurry. On the follow op appointment, his doctor said IOP has gone down to 13 from 20 and the surgery was a success. I want to ask when is his vision

Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar

Having a mild pain where the surgery was done before 5 years
Hi, my surgery was done in 2018 and the surgeon removed maximum of my tumor. 5% of tumor was still left and because of that they keep a check on it with regular yearly MRI scans.This year I had my MRI scan done and the results were normal. But now suddenly today I am having external pain where the surgery

Which option for surgery
My dad has been waiting for open heart surgery for a valve replacement for 2 years. He is now faced with a second option, TAVI, rather than open heart. Does anyone have any experience or helpful advice? We are researching for him so that he can make an informed decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Breathlessness update
Some time ago I posted about my breathlessness and on going investigations.Over the last year I've had a thorough MOT of my heart and lungs and I passed with no advisories. It seems to me now that I had overreacted to some symptoms and become anxious. The anxiety made me become over-protective. This

Cutenous endometriosis
Hi there, I had my 4th endo surgery early this year and have developed cutaneous endometriosis by my belly button. It causes pain at tines and I thought it was a keloid, but my GP thinks it's cutaneous endometriosis. Has anyone experienced this and if anyone has any advice. X

Open heart surgery
I had my first meeting with the surgical team at Papworth yesterday . I’m now pencilled in for an aortic valve replacement in June. We discussed my AF , the effects of surgery on episodes after and anticoagulants . Interestingly they stated that oral anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke by 60/70%

Accessing NHS hospital test results
I'm sure I've read that we can access results for blood tests etc at hospital via the NHS app. I only seem to be able to see GP services and even then it does not have my GP surgery test results or records. The only things I can see are current and past medications going back to 2005 and my vaccination

Bra tips
Hi, I would like some help. I had some very comfortable supporting bras bought from my heart surgery.Alas these haven't offered much support at all after my breast procedure and became too tight. I had underestimated how big my boob would swell after surgery, the haematoma and seroma didn't help Ideas

cataract Surgery
I needed eye surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes, my first eye surgery was in April 2022, I then had to wait for clear vision in eye after surgery before the cataract in my second eye was removed. After both eyes regained clear vision, you need to have an eye test, and possibly get new spectacles

KNEE SURGERY?
High folks, went to see my consultant a few days ago, asked when I was getting my 1st surgery and we discovered I am NOT on the waiting list. This is apparently due to a CLERICAL ERROR with the orthopedic department. My consultant, lovely person has promised me she will ask for a priority appointment
