Swollen cord-stump after castration?
I got castrated three years ago, because the boys were inflammated, hard and numb. The right one cut out inguinal, got examinamed in pathology with result: no cancer. Thereby the left one got cut out from his sac-shelf directly, so i have the cord stump still in my inguinal left. It was often swollen

Smart Watches and ICD/Pacemakers
Just seen some online articles warning about potential interference but smart watches on icd/pacemakers. I haven't been warned about this by any medical staff at any point, only about the usual with mobile phones and scanners at airports etc. Anyone been advised to avoid smart watches or have any input

Macular Hole
Hi, long term PMR/GCA sufferer been on 4mg for long enough and staying there! However I developed a macular hole which needed surgery. Has anyone else had this problem, is there likely any association of cause with GCA /PMR or Pred? Surgery done now and I have to wait and see how successful it is.

What's it like getting a crtd / icd shock
Give me the unvarnished truth! 😆I'm 44, very fit, have a very high pain tolerance, want to here honest experiences about people who have had the big shock... Rather than the version from the doctor, who has never experienced it. I've heard it's like being punched in the chest. But punched by who? Mike

Guidance needed for decision making of implanting ICD
This year in January, I go the MRI done. My MRI reports are suggesting I have wall thickness of 18mm in mid anteroseptal segment, dyskinetic true apex (apical aneurysm) and LGE in basal to mid anterior and septal segments amounting to >30% total myocardial mass. The faulty gene identified is MYH7. I

too old for ablation?
My mom (81) has had bradycardia and afib for decades. About 5 years ago, she got a pacemaker and was put on sotalol & Metropolol, which controlled things well for a while. Recently, she’s been having more frequent episodes of afib (lasting a week or so at a time). Her Dr suggested an ablation, but

Curious about using the tens unit
Has anyone tried this for RLS? If so, where did you place the pads and how much did it help?

Recent ICD Fitted
I had an ICD fitted 2 weeks ago . I am still waking up breathless in the early hours most mornings. Has anybody experienced this? Does this settle down as ICD is new?

A Happy Anniversary
Dear AFA forum family. Isn't life wonderful? I joined the AFA forum some four years ago and had it not been for chance encounters, who knows where I would be today. It started with an AFA post titled "Tim' Story". At the time of his post (several years ago) Tim was 55 and his story mirrored my own

Coping with NSR in the shadow of Afib - tips please!
Something of a big question this, but one I’m grappling with in my life right now. Apart from a month or two early on of feeling an occasional erratic heartbeat, my experience of Afib has been almost entirely persistent. So I have not experienced the episodes of sudden arrhythmias that paroxysmal Afib
