Hello again I wasn’t sure I would ever run again following my hip replacement let alone run consistently for 20 minutes!!!!!

Hi I’m new here, After having CABG surgery I awoke with a numb left hand, has anyone else had this and if so how long did it take to sort out?

I showed up a couple of weeks ago for my two monthly B12 jab only to be told that my levels needed to be tested and a review of B12 required. I had been supplementing with sublingual

Hi all, New to this community and hoping we can receive as much help as we have enjoyed from other communities on HU over the years. Can anyone recommend a private consultant in London, Surrey or Sussex in connection with surgery for vaginal prolapse? It's so difficult selecting a consultant and I find

I've had PMR since January 2022 and was initially put on methylprednisolone (4 mg twice a day) for about 2 months but that made me ill so was switched to prednisone (5 mg twice a day). I started tapering several months later in 2022 and got down to 7 mg but then flared so went back up to 10 mg and stayed
