Isolated Diastolic Hypertension
I have Isolated Diastolic Hypertension. I'm 50 year old female. My average bp reading is 106/93 (highest 125/117 and lowest 95/73) My gp surgery blood pressure readings are higher than my home readings for systolic so two years ago my gp prescribed Amlodipine but I passed out, the hospital said to stop

just had a craniotomy
hello I joined this group to hear how others are recovering from their crainotomy. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago to remove a meningioma which I’ve known about and had annual MRIs for the last 12 years. I’m kicking goals with my recovery was sent home 24 hrs after surgery due to no space in hospital

Hair & Nail supplements
I have rubbish nails which aren’t very strong and my hair is on the thin side. I’ve been looking at supplements and found one which has excellent results but contains herbal ingredients such as horsetail. I asked the surgery pharmacist if I can take it and she advised not to - she said herbal ingredients

Salt water washing post adult Circumcision week 6
It has now almost been 6 weeks post my circumcision surgery and the dry patches of skin still linger on my glans and frenulum. I have read on this forum elsewhere that salt water washes help in clearing these dry patches. I was wondering if 1) I should dip it in saline solution before or after taking

CBD (thc free) for pain relief
I’ve had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. Before that I had a Lumber Spinal Laminectomy (which only worked for about 4 months). I’ve since also been diagnosed with Heart Failure so pain relief is very difficult. The Spinal Stenosis is now severe all down the Lumbar Region. I was given

Robotic Ureteral Reimplantation
Have any of you had this surgery? How did it turn out? My right ureter has a partial blockage that is believed to be radiation damage from my prostate cancer radiation treatments five years ago. The ureter is very narrow near the bladder, and urine flow is restricted. A surgeon at University of Chicago

Weight Loss Surgery
I'm 18 years post transplant and want/need to lose weight. I haven't been offered any of the weight loss drugs. However, I'm being encouraged to go the surgery route. My BMI is around 37 but I'm type 2 diabetic and have high blood pressure. I'm concerned for my kidney with all the diet restrictions

Wanting to learn from you...
Hello! I am here to learn what kinds of things you experience after breast cancer surgery. I am a physical therapist and I see people who seem to have similar experiences of not being given good advice as to what to do, what therapies to seek, what exercises to do, or anything pre or post surgically

Minor surgery and pred
Has anyone had minor surgery with general anesthetic while on less than 5 pred? I was told that 5 was the magic number they were interested but am wondering if they just ignore the steroids all together lower than 5. I will be flourishing that steroid treatment card for sure! Just to be on the safe

A little moan about the NHS and positive outcome come on my private consultation with 2 consultants Hip and Back
Ok so I have been having serious issues with my Back and hip both separate issues and the NHS seem to take it as my back as a degenerative issue even after having an MRI done(seen by spinal team )🤷🤦 . My hip was said to be a muscular issue which needed physio. Was seeing 2 different sets of physio

Why it’s a good idea to use your Kardia etc regularly
It’s a saga but will make it as short as possible! I have paroxysmal AF, big nuisance but I don’t usually have fast episodes any more, take Apixaban anticoagulant so I put up with it. On Friday afternoon while quietly looking at a book an episode started. As usual pretty nasty for first two hours but

Newly diagnosed. Looking for advice
Good morning. I've sadly recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I was suffering 5 years ago with calprotectin score 450 and had a urgent colonoscopy that found polyps and piles which were removed biopsied/ banded. Continued to have on off blood in stools for a few years each time I was blaming

Death from other-than PCa is not a "success"
A tongue-in-cheek stated goal by many here with PCa (including myself for the past 17 years since dianosis) has been to live to die of "anything other" than prostate cancer. Of course that does not bear up to close scrutiny. Many alternative causes of death, including the "big 4" of Cardiovascular Disease

endo belly post surgery?
Hi, I had surgery about 5 weeks ago. Stage 4 endo, including on bowels, and all was removed as far as I know. I thought the endo belly might settle down but honestly I still look like I’ve got a tire around my lower abdomen. I plan to get back into exercise. Does anyone have any insight/tips? Thank

Diaphragmatic and/or Umbilical Endo
Hi Please could anyone with diagnosed diaphragmatic or umbilical endo advise of their symptoms and anything that helped besides surgery for associated symptoms? I strongly suspect endo has spread with the symptoms experiencing and waiting to get back into endo clinic for referral for second surgery

Broken wrist update
Today confirmed no need for surgery (whew). Last week plaster cast replaced with fibreglass one, which was (painfully) molded to keep a piece of bone from separating further from where it was supposed to be, and that bone didn't move any more. In four weeks I return for removal of cast and probably
