In the summer of 2023 I underwent various heart tests and was told I had needed angioplasty and stenting. On the day of the procedure things didn't go to plan, the stenting did not happen because of the

For people who are about to have a bypass..
Where my health is concerned I was terrified of surgery . A neurotic coward . However I had such incredible people at Southampton Hospital who helped and guided me through the whole procedure I can honestly say I was not afraid . The staff only mentioned what it was going to be like after the op . Every

Laparoscopy - when do you know if it's worked? Will I have pain free days in my recovery? I'm 6 weeks after Op.
My story is quite long, so I will try to keep it brief.For 2 years I have had chronic pelvic pain after doing various tests that all came back clear I was offered a diagnostic laparoscopy. After 19 months of waiting I had the surgery 6 weeks ago. I woke up and after being told there was nothing wrong

Tinnitus following an adverse reaction to medication- and only alcohol helps!
Hi! Tinnitus is now seriously damaging my sleep and my quality of life. It started about six months ago after an intensive course of Acetazolamide tablets (prescribed following a bad reaction to laser surgery intended to prevent glaucoma). Strangely the only thing that brings any relief is alcohol -

Spring Covid booster
Have had text from my surgery offering me a Spring Booster for Covid. Have been on 4.5mg Prednisolone for a couple of months now. Would my immune system still be classed as compromised on such a low dose?

Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if

We often see members posting results which, at least initially, are odd and maybe make little sense. This paper recognises and discusses such test results. Quite long and takes some effort to read - but worth it if you are interested. [i]

John Radcliffe waiting times for surgery
Hi. I’m waiting for heart surgery valve repair (hopefully) at Oxford Radcliffe. Been waiting 4 months. No idea of when they will get round to me. Get very vague responses. Anyone else on a list at the JR waiting longer than this? Thanks
