scaredycat!
Hi everyone my consultant is wanting me to have a cataract and stent op to bring my pressures down but iam terrified of being awake for any eye op. I actually asked him if he could put me to sleep and do it!!How does anyone get over this fear and anxiety. Have thought of nothing else for weeks. Surely

Is this GCA? My first post here.
I get
pain
behind my
eye
and ear on the same side too. The top of my head hurts. Can be tender too. I’ve developed an aching on the forehead, side of face today since waking with a headache. It’s tender there too. Can you see the dark shadow? It’s like a prominent vein has appeared there.

The Beginning
4 years ago, I fell down 3 concrete steps and landed with my hands spread out to protect my face. I didnt have much pain for about a year. Then I saw a surgeon who wanted to do ligament repair, tendon interposition and removal of my wrist trapezium bone. I had developed arthritis. After the surgery

OsteoArthritis v RA
Having had RA diagnosed some 4 years now the majority of my pain is focused on my left knee which I injured in 2017. Recent flaring and RA activity has been largely rooted in that knee and have had three steroid injections since Christmas. The most latest one was in response to searing pain in the knee

Dry Eye Masks
Hi, can you use a dry eye mask if you have had both eyes operated with the Preserflo Microshunt. Had my eyes tested at the opticians and they suggested using one. Surely the hospital would have also suggested it? It’s the thought of putting something warm on both eyes and then the instructions to wipe

Unhappy experience with Specsavers
My elderly father visited Specsavers as instructed by the DVLA for his 3 yearly field test (he has glaucoma but this condition has been stable for years); my father is not computer literate and equates the field test equipment as a computer causing a lot of stress. The staff did not inform him he could

Iopidine after SLT
As I am so allergic to most eye drops yesterday I had SLT as the pressure has been going up. I read that after having this you can have a pressure spike and was really worried because after my cataract surgery the pressure went from 20 to34 and I had to take Acetazolamide for two weeks which made me

Dad not waking up from induced coma after Sudden Cardiac Arrest, What are his chances? Signs of 'waking up'?
My Dad is 54 years old and collapsed at work last Friday 03/03/2023 from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. No symptoms, no chest pains, no warning signs. He is moderately fit, not a heavy drinker but is a heavy smoker and they found a blocked valve that had built up for months allegedly due to the smoking. His

Chronic pain post navicular fracture surgery
Hey, new to posting but I’ve been looking for places with people who may have some similar experiences. I am 2 years post op to correct a navicular fracture which has healed well from a surgical aspect. I do however have chronic, debilitating pain on a daily basis now. I’ve seen surgeons and i’m waiting

Concern about getting more Covid-19 vaccines.
I was diagnosed under 2 years ago. I guess I’ve had it since 2007. Just wondering about getting more Covid-19 vaccines. I have believed it is a good idea to get them. But every time I have I get some very odd things I’ve never experienced before. Rash. Sore in my eye. Eye infection. I cut my arm and

Pain management
Any tips on how to manage pain without resorting to painkillers please. I have painkillers but rarely use them and want to keep it that way. I have a very sore left arm which is far less painful when I mould it to my body and keep it inactive. Thank goodness I am right handed. Doc is looking into it.

ear pressure
the cheek numbness is gone, but I still have pressure and clogged ear on and off, I also feel weird on that same side of my throat, my
eye
feels heavy and I get occasional
pain
on temple and jaw area. I’m starting to freak out. I do have some mild congestion.

Mixed up with recent diagnosis
Hi everyone. It has been so good to read all the different posts about Glaucoma and Glaucoma suspect and interocular eye pressure. I was with private consultant here in Ireland just three days ago who did visual field test and put in the dye etc. to exam my optic nerve. She said optic nerve seemed normal

Eye side effects on biologics for rheumatoid arthritis
Has anyone else has very dry and sore eyes on biologics? Did it get better over time or did you have to stop/ switch to an alternative? I had this with adalimumab (Amgevita) so switched to etanercept (Benepali) but the same thing is happening again. I’m so keen to get better but my eyes are very sore

Broken clavicle pain? Broke my clavicle after a epileptic seizure in 2011, but cold weather means dull pain! Must be others same situation?
I use my laptop a lot, a dull pain just does not go away, whilst writing, I have HPT so pain killers out of question! I suppose some sort of cream would be best, even magnesium oil joint spray like I use for my osteoarthritis on my knees might help? doubtful! Is anybody same situation as refracturing

APs and Fatigue
Hi I have had APS since 2016, living in Norway and have “fatigue”. This is by far the most demanding problem with my APS. I read on the APS support UK page the following recommendation: “Take 200-400g hydroxychloroquine daily. This drug has long been used to treat fatigue and joint pain in autoimmune

Not diagnosed yet, suffering for many years
Hi everyone, My name is Kimberly, I live in Northwestern United States. I have been struggling with symptoms for years and had no idea this could be MS. I’ve had a hard time going up stairs as well as walking on flat ground for several months, maybe a year. My legs feel as though they weigh a hundred

Itchy eyes
I know that glaucoma makes our eyes sensitive, and I do use lubricating eye drops SO many times during the day, but I still find that my eyes - especially inner eye, and around the base of the lids - gets really itchy. And of course we can't scratch our eyes. So does anybody else find this, and if so
