Vocal chord damage in thyroidectomy
Hi all, I had a total Thyroidectomy 2 days ago which was a difficult op. My thyroid had grown so large it was pressing on my larynx, growing downwards to my chest, and growing round the back of my oesophagus. In previous surgery for breast cancer 2 years ago they were unable to get the breathing tube

Returning Endometriosis with a vengeance!
So approximately two years ago I had surgery for severe endometriosis. It didn’t particularly help with the pain as I also have adenomyosis, but I was just about managing. The NHS haven’t been very helpful as I have been waiting for nearly two years for the mirena coil. I took matters into my own hands

London pain management specialist
Hi, I know no one can directly post a recommendation but would anyone be able to send me a direct message if you can recommend a pain management specialist in London because I haven’t had much luck so far I’m currently on Buprenorphine 10mcg patches but they barely last 4 days and are meant to last

Facing thyroid surgery?
Have you been told that you're hyperthyroid, and / or been told that you need to have your thyroid removed – but you're not convinced because your symptoms don't seem to match the diagnosis? That's exactly where I was nine years ago – and I want to urge you to follow your instincts ! To put it simply

weight & DOACs
I have just had a review at GP surgery with clinical pharmacist and he informed me Edoxaban isn’t effective if weight over 120kg. Apixiban and rivaroxiban are however, both of which I didn’t get on with. I am on a weight loss programme so hopefully will soon be under that weight but this was never mentioned

Reassurance for laparoscopy excision surgery
I'm just after a bit of reassurance really. I'm under an endo specialist and I've booked in for excision surgery in August, but I so scared that they're not going to find anything. I've already been told there is an endometrioma on one of my ovaries and 'normal' cysts on the other. My ovaries however

Prednisone vs Acterma with steroid induced diabetes. Really terrified
Update: April 2024 was scheduled for eye surgery for Strabismus which was canceled days before when in the same week I was determined by my Endocrinologist to have steroid induced diabetes which makes the general anesthesia too risky at this point. Rescheduled for August tentatively while we work on

Endo help
hi all, hope you’re well. I’m definitely repeating myself here (sorry), but looking for some reassurance 💛 As a back story, I’m 36, have endometriosis and 3 x failed rounds of ivf/icsi which includes 2 x transfers (top quality) and 4 pgta tested abnormal embryos. A recent MRI also shows fibroids,

Off Topic: Elbow Surgery Waiting List
I've been on the surgery waiting list as a P3 (should be 3 months but backlogs) for 21 weeks (since 12th December) for my left elbow replacement and listed for the right elbow since 9th January. I've had no contact from the hospital, but I have checked the NHS app every few weeks which was stating May

Lots of Energy Yesterday
Yesterday, I felt like my old self and despite the heat worked in my garden for most of the day. Could have done more and my energy was almost limitless. Why was that you may ask? Well I forgot to take my beta blocker 25mg of Metoprolol that morning. My goodness who would have thought that medication

have a surgery coming up in two weeks under general anesthesia and just had some heart palpitations and went to a&e.
at emergency they told me I have a first degree heart block and also found a sinus pause of 2.5 seconds. Will I still be able to go ahead with the surgery and general anesthesia? Really scared now that I will die on the table!

Due to restart chemo Monday, then due to BRCA gene will be on olaparib. I really struggle mentally with

Any Tips/Advice for Vascular Surgery Appointment coming up…?
I have been referred to see Vascular Surgery and my appointment is in a few weeks. The physio I am seeing for neck and shoulder pain asked my GP to refer me due to frequent left sided pain in my neck arm and shoulder blade and also facial symptoms on left side. She wants to make sure there isn’t anything

Walk for Hearts
5 months post heart surgery and I’ve committed to doing the 50 miles during October for the BHF. Is anyone else planning to do this? This photo was taken 2 months after surgery and with our new granddaughter who was born when I was in ICU recovering after the op. Having made a full recovery, I appreciate

Stoma bag leaking during the night
I just got home from hospital after a 2 and a half week nitemare stay in hospital after very complicated surgery to remove my whole colon. I was OK in hospital because I couldn't get any sleep but the past 2 nights I'm that tired I've woke up and my bag has leaked all over the place my poor wife is shattered

Correct dose of b12 post abdominal surgery/stoma bag
I am trying to help my son. Many years ago he was diagnosed with Crohns disease and over the years has had extensive abdominal surgery. He now has a stoma bag. At present he is taking 1000mcg of b12 but I have recently read that he needs at least 2000 mcg! He is constantly feeling unwell! I would
