Arthritis or hyper mobility?
Hi, I’m new to this and to be honest I’m not even sure if I’m in the right place but here goes. A little bit of background, I used to do a lot of judo when I was in my early 20’s and I used to work in a shop, lugging in deliveries etc. Did this for a lot of years and then got a second job in a Post

Heart Issues but otherwise healthy
Hi all, I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I am fairly active even though I have an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker. I try to stay healthy by eating the right foods and limiting vitamin K to keep my INR stable but every now and then, I have a question about diet and INR results.

AV Node Ablation
80 years old in Sept and still plagued by afib. Pacemaker fitted in May 2021 and awaiting next step which I’m sure will be AV node ablation – last stop saloon! But is this the only option? The last ablation in 2013 lasted 5 years and possibly longer if severe Mitral regurgitation hadn’t triggered it.

Bowel prep for colonoscopy - long post. Sorry.
Hi. I thought I would kick off with the dreaded bowel preparation (clearing) required prior to having bowel examinations or surgery. There are a number of products (some branding names vary between USA and UK). So, this is my journey this year: Needed a colonoscooy as well as Upper GI Endoscopy so appointment

It’s been seven hours and 49 days...
Been tough 7 weeks since calf injury with physio treatment and losing much of my hard earned fitness, more importantly slowing my recovery from heart surgery which was a key motivational factor for me doing this... This weekend picked myself up, dusted off trainers unsure on fitness levels tentatively

Changes you have made.
Well today is exactly one year that I had my
heart
attack, then a triple
bypass
the following week. It’s gone so so quick. It was a complete shock at the time, I always felt I was ok health wise. I’m feeling fairly good, sometimes I feel like it’s never happened until I see my scar!!

I’m looking for some reassurance please.
Four weeks ago I had quadruple
heart
bypass
surgery, I am just at the start of week five post surgery and I’m struggling. The recovery is a lot slower and more challenging than I ever imagined.

Mechanical Valve - Ticking Noise
I'm new here and I have been recommended to have open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve with a mechanical valve. One of my concerns is the "ticking" or "thumping" noise. I was wondering if anyone has had the mechanical valve replacement surgery and have they experienced the noise? If so, how

For cholesterol blood test or Calcium Score?
Please read this true interesting story. NHS still not doing Calcium score, private test can cost up to £ 150.00 pounds! "But he was alarmed to discover that, aged 42, his cholesterol levels were high, at 8.5 — with his level of ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol at 6.2. His GP advised that he start on statins immediately
