total knee replacement triggering RLS
I had a left knee replacement surgery April 10th this year. My right knee is also “bone on bone” from osteoarthritis and I’m dreading getting a second one as its been a rough recovery, and the RLS return has me worried too. 4 months out I’m getting stronger week by week although I’m definitely not

low heart beat
I have had a heart recorded implant undertaken a month and a half ago and it has picked up A/fib and a low heart beat sometimes as low as 34 . What the concern was that as I came out of A/fib some times my heart would not beat for up to 6 seconds before starting again .They are going to fit a pacemaker

Access To Patient Records
Just want to get my facts straight before I complain. I had access to all my records visible on Patient Access and the NHS app last year. At some time this year everything prior to September ‘23 disappeared from these apps. This is not confined to my records - hubbies and other friends have gone too

Problem with NHS policy - again!
Off on holiday soon. At my last injection appointment I told the practice nurse that my next scheduled jab would be 4 days into my holiday and there was no way I could make the day. She said quite clearly that it wouldn't be a problem as I would be OK to have it the day before I fly. So I rang this
