I’m fine during the day although the stiffness in my back and side is always present. I’m gradually increasing the amount of walking and activity at home. I take rests when I need

How do you get independent medical advice!
So the NHS are now protecting themselves! I can’t trust anyone! They’re all f’ing liars! So 5 years ago I was opened and shut at a private hospital! Sent to tertiary care for ‘priority’ surgery! Obviously didn’t get it!.. Waited in excess of almost a year! Tried on various treatments, then taken into

Lung infections after Lobectomy?

Living with Endo.
I was in extreme pain every month crippled on the floor, unable to move. My condition was missed for years by the doctors who refused to believe there was anything wrong with me, in extreme pain for three weeks out of four I eventually got an ultrasound scan which picked up a large mass. I saw a gynaecologist

Embarrassing bowel question 🫣
Hi, so this is a bit of an embarrassing one and I've been egging myself on to ask others. So when I'm on my period, or in the week of my period where the flare is bad but I'm not bleeding because I take the pill which minimises the bleeding significantly, I still get a significant amount of blood that

Hi everyone, Here’s the end of our first week of 2022 and I do hope you’ve all had a good start to the new year. Regardless of our resolutions (broken or not), and the knowledge that a happy new year isn’t ever guaranteed, I always feel that it’s like opening up my new diary and seeing a fresh period

Post Vats lobectomy
Hi just wondering if anybody had a similar experience- I had my surgery almost 3 weeks ago and am recovering well. I had 3 incisions of which one had 3 stitches and has healed well. The one where my drain was had only 1 stitch which was removed along with the drain the next day and this one is not knitting
