Negative again
I wish so much I could have posted a positive outcome. It’s 5:30am and I’m lying here , quite numb. No tears at all, just emptiness. I had a feeling it was negative but was still hopeful. Thinking surely this must be our time?! I find the hardest part now is telling my husband, breaking his heart too

A CROSSOVER POST
This post straddles both Pain and AF …. so … if considered inappropriate please delete, I understand. A few weeks ago I posted that during the night I had to make a comfort stop and in doing so I tripped over the cat … went flying through the air and smashed my osteoarthritis ridden left shoulder into

Pain management
Dear Friends: I am currently taking 20mg Methadone daily for RLS and will have painful hand surgery soon. Because Methadone blunts effects of opioids I am concerned about pain management. Any ideas how best to handle? Thank you.

Update after hysterectomy for adenomyosis
I posted here just over a week ago with the background and my pre-operative anxieties: https://healthunlocked.com/endometriosis-uk/posts/150262788/adenomyosis-should-i-have-hysterectomy so I thought I'd update. When I went in to hospital I was still quite ambivalent and fearful. But when I talked to

My cancer journey-
I was diagnosed in 2019 with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I had surgery and several different treatment protocols. I’m now facing my 3rd recurrence and about to decide, under the guidance of my wonderful oncologist, which treatment will be next. I feel fortunate that I’ve never suffered a lot of pain and

hi I have my appointment with my surgeon this week but have been advised by a professional that I need to really sell myself to my surgeon in respect of my surgery I am a bit of a loss as to how I do this .. is this like a job interview where I need to prove I am worthy of this operation? If so what

Please help me understand advanced thyroid test results
I’m returning here after following advice to get my mum a full thyroid check via medichecks as her GP had dismissed her previously marginal results. She is switching to a new surgery and we are hoping she will be taken more seriously, following these additional test results. I’m hoping someone can

update on my wrist pain.
I am 77 years old and I've had PMR for 6 years. I'm now at 2mg. prednisone. (up from .75....ah, I was so hopeful a year ago) and over the last 3 months have been waking up with terrible pain in hand and thumb and wrist. Primary doc sent me for an EMG which showed moderately severe (whatever that means

NHS Laparoscopy date question...
Hey guys, I don't know if any of you will be able to answer this as it is probably different with each hospital/area/specialist. But, basically I went to an endo specialist in Birmingham and paid private for a consultation and an MRI which confirmed endo and he referred me to Bham Women's Hospital for

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in

feeling good
just an update that I am feeling really good after starting my lexapro. I feel a sense of contentment and gratitude even though I have some new challenges in my life. The dog I adopted from my friends dogs that passed away is having ACL surgery today. I’m hoping I’m up to the challenge of rehabilitation

RA complicated by arthritis in knees
Morning, so I have increasing pain in knees, worse on left. Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

painful heavy legs …. This has helped me!
I have RA, I also had a DVT 8 years ago following surgery. I have a job which keeps me on my feet all day and I’m in my mid 50s. I had started to get very heavy aching legs. Compression socks helped, but on a whim I bought an electronic circulation booster (the type of thing advertised on TV by

Has anyone else had previous open heart surgery and had burning pain and discomfort in left side of ribs, back and sharp pains in chest? I know this is all part of the healing process but the burning pain and discomfort has started in the past week, which is my third/forth week after surgery. I expected

Schilling Test -or something else ?
I recently found this out: Seventeen years ago, my cousin was found to have B12 deficiency. She would have been in her early 30s then - and was told that PA was unlikely at that young age. They tested her. From what she has told me, it sounds as if she was given the Schilling test - as she remembers

back pain after excision
hi everyone, I’ve posted a few times so thanks to anyone who has replied before 😊 I had really extensive excision of stage 3/4 endometriosis with adenomyosis found 3 months ago. I’m really struggling with lower back pain. It gets worse around the time of ovulation and periods but it can be any time

Pcsk9
I have chronic renal failure stage 3 , have had aerotic valve surgery, also fairly high ldl cholesterol, prediabetes because of simvastatin, nhs will not authorize pcsk9 inhibitors for me , it seems that the nhs would prefer you to become diabetic than give better drugs without side effects

PA and FND
Today I saw a neurologist for the first time , sadly not impressed and I am frustrated . I have already posted about my bad experience and lack of care from my Gp surgery, the same from my new surgery. I realised that my right hip was not working as it should, couldn't lift it off the bed or get it into
