Diverticulitis
I am 75 years old. On Thursday morning I awoke with terrible abdominal pain and diarrhoea followed by heavy blood loss. I was very frightened. I went to A and E where I was looked after really well. They gave me painkillers and X-rays and a CT scan. I had diverticulitis and inflammation of sigmoid colon

Hi the next installment, I got admitted as planned and the operation went well, the surgeon had to change from keyhole to open surgery as something wasn't quite right so it took a bit longer than expected about 4hrs 30. Woke up in HDU feeling like a double decker bus had run over and to be honest I am

Pain relief medication
Hi there, I had a stent fitted in LAD in 2021. Have a mild to moderate aortic leaky valve. I also have two slipped discs in lower back. For the most part, I have no pain or restricted movement. Every now and again, I’m in excruciating pain with my back for a few days, then all goes back to normal

Mother in pain
My 88 year old mother has severe osteoporosis and kyphosis. She has episodes of severe back pain under her shoulders, which I am assuming is due to vertebral fractures of the spine. She uses a heating pad, over the counter pain medicine, and Tylenol with codeine when she cannot tolerate the pain anymore

Endo, Crohn’s and Surgery
Hi, anyone in any kind of similar situation? I have Crohn’s Disease and have had three surgeries about 15 years ago. During IVF I was told I had endometriomas on my left ovary. These have been a nightmare for years now. Every specialist says they would usually remove these surgically but due to my

Hi all
I live in
chronic
pain
and am always going to the bathroom. I alternate between sitting up and resting in bed with 3 pillows up to support my neck. I don't look sick and I never have.

Update re ASCT relapse
Due to my cll returning and having had several new lines of treatment my consultants both my Cll specialist and my transplant specialist have offered me Rchop chemotherapy as one of my few options. This treatment I believe is not used to treat cll but used to treat lymphomas. Apparently it has been

My story
Given the start of my Seropositive RA in 2005. I had bad experiences with most of the traditional RA meds prescribed. I never really understood why doctors only seemed to give medication which would suppress the immune system. Generally I felt this approach was making me feel much worse. So for many

Feeling hopeless, 15+ years chronic pain and about to be a new parent in a different country.
I have a lot to be grateful for, and I am, but the
chronic
pain
is just taking its toll on me. My wife and I recently moved back to her home country of Germany for one year, because she is pregnant and we wanted to have the baby somewhere she feels more comfortable.

suspected epidural tumour
Hi all! Hope you are all doing well. My dad just got his scans back, and to go along with his rising PSA (over 260 now), the said they suspect he has an epidural tumour. Our MO typically glazes past his scan results as she doesn’t seem them significant, I want to make sure I am right to be worried here
