RLS worse after knee replacement
I've taken Pramipexole for a long time and it's worked. However, after recent knee replacement surgery (7th Feb), the RLS is driving me mad. I'm up every night after 1 or 2 hours' sleep and end up taking an opioid to settle it.Can the pain from the knee be causing it? Any advice welcome.

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

Recurrence?im scared
I don't know where to start because I'm scared to death. I already made a post about my situation but I need to talk more about it with people who understand my situation. My mother, my beloved mother... my reason for living. In 2020 she underwent surgery for stage one seromucinous adenocarcinoma

fallopian cancer return
hi everyone. After chemo, surgery and chemo, was cancer free we thought. But now it has return in the lymph nodes after 6 months and my dr wants to do carbo with dioxin. Has anyone done this combo? If so how bad were side affects? Hair loss? Heart problems? She also suggested Elahere. Anyone

Scoliosis
Hi, I am an adult with scoliosis of the spine. My curvature is severe, but I am well otherwise. I have not opted for surgery. I could not see scoliosis listed as one of the conditions in the 'Neuro Support' information. Is this forum for people with scoliosis? Would appreciate any feedback. Many

Asthma Inhalers And Gerd
I know heartburn, indigestion, Gerd and silent reflux are common hypo syptoms but I thought I would add they can also be a side effect of certain asthma inhalers, particularly steroid ones. The NHS is trying to change as many asthma sufferers on inhalers to the dry powder inhalers (DPI) instead of the

Mirena Coil
Hey all, I have an appointment tomo with my NHS gyne. He's going to see if he'll be able to fit the mirena coil 'normally' or wether it'll have to be done with some sort of guidance as i have a tilted uterus. Feels like my health has just plummeted since Christmas and I'm in extreme pain daily. Worried

Mini Maze update
I had my surgery at Sheffield Northern General on the NHS. I live in Essex so my daughter and son in law took me to Sheffield and stayed in a hotel while I was in hospital. I had my surgery on 15th March, a day later than planned due to cancellation on 14th. I was told 2 different reasons, so don’t

bleeding post-op
I had endometriosis removed from ovaries about 7 weeks ago. I started bleeding just under 2 weeks ago, not heavy, but enough to fill a pantiliner & bright red. Doctor not concerned, but has booked a scan for a couple of weeks time to check. I have read periods can be longer, heavier etc after & they

Possible Adrenal Insuffiency
Some advice please. I’ve been on prednisolone for PMR since 2014. I’ve been stuck on 5mg for maybe six years. I now have two compression fractures in my spine and multilevel degeneration, so I’m trying again to reduce using Dorset Lady’s simple reduction over five weeks - that’s 0.5mg over five weeks

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had

4th round chemo worse since surgery, started feeling sick & stomach pains 😫
Hello lovely ladies I had 3 rounds of chemo along with Avastin & although I had many side effects, I was fortunate that sickness/nausea wasn't one of them. 5 weeks post interval surgery, I had round 4 (no Avastin this round) but tummy issues (swinging from diarrhea to constipation constantly) and nausea

Advice/Help
Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice please? I'm due to go in for a Laparoscopy next week, I've had heart surgery in the past but, I'm really nervous about this surgery due to complications in the previous surgeries. So I'm just trying to calm my nerves by being as prepared as much as possible.
