Back/pelvis/hip pain?
A month or 2 ago, I got a new dog, he's bigger than my previous dog and he pulls on the lead. And I got stressed adapting to the change. Somewhere soon after that I picked up a bug, and the PMR "buzzing" in my shoulders, arms and calves popped back. Not really painful but aware of "the bucket" I stopped

Bit old fashioned...
I discovered that a castor oil pack really helps with knee pain. It's horrible sticky oil, but it works topically (for me at least). I have bad memories of this stuff from my childhood. Any hint of sickness and out came the bottle. I would not recommend injesting it! 🤮 it's better than the deep heat

Can anyone help?
I have purchased some Deep Heat muscle rub thinking it would help my aches and pains, but on the leaflet enclosed it states that people taking anticoagulants should not use it owing to the ingredients interacting with this medication. I take Warfarin. Does anyone know if there is a safe lubricant that

Calf Pain and PAD
Hi, I wasn't sure if this should be posted in a Diabetes forum or on here, after thinking about it I think that this BHF site is the better option. So Peripheral Arterial Disease. I had both Iliac Arteries 'bored' out with balloon angioplasty in May of this year (Left leg fully occulted and Right leg

PMR and Pfizer Covid Vaccine
Within 5 days of my husband and I receiving the first Pfizer Covid jab, he started getting pains in his legs and shoulders. He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within

Do you Know Your Pulse?
Do you know what a normal resting heart rhythm is? Do you know what an irregular heart rhythm feels like? Did you know that an irregular pulse can be the very early warning signs of an arrhythmia? It is vital you monitor your heart rhythm by taking regular pulse checks. For further information

Short spikes of raised HR?
Hello again, My ablation was mid March and I've been in NSR since bar 2 short episodes of AF that self converted when I was under extreme stress. Every now and then (once every 3 weeks or so) I guess I get a short spike of raised heart rate shown on my fitbit, if I'm sitting quietly I'm aware of it

Can anyone help interpret my ECHO please?
This is my ECHO report. It was followed by a letter from cardiology to the GP saying that the findings are consistent with HFpEF and that treatment should start with diuretics. However, the GP (trainee) who rang to give me the results said that I was at high risk of heart failure and should go back if

Is AF life threatening or not?
When l was diagnosed with AF., six years ago, my Cardiologist, at that time, told me that AF was not life threatening. I have always used this information as a coping mechanism when l have an episode. It keeps me calm and lessens the severity of the symptoms. I have, on occasions, passed this information

Sore knee and pain gels
I know on Apixaban I can’t take an anti inflammatory or even the gels. I’ve got a painful knee. I asked in Boots about this stuff. Pharmacist said he couldn’t say. Anyone here heard of it, used it, know it’s ok with Apixaban? 😀

Bisoprolol
HiOn 1.25mg bisoprolol for heart failure also have LVSD, AFib and had AV node ablation and pacemaker. My pacemaker is set 70bpm hr so doesn't really go any higher than this and I believe the purpose of bisoprolol is to lower heart rate, so the question is why do I need bisoprolol when my heart rate is

Cognitive skills
I had open heart surgery over four months ago. Straight after the surgery I felt fine and could hold a conversation with people. The week after (once home) I felt I was present in the room but struggled to communicate. I would have the conversation mapped out in my head along with what I wanted to

How long does it take!
Hey, please could anyone tell me their experiences of recovery after quadrupal heart bypass. I had this done in February, complications and infections took me back into hospital again after three weeks from being discharged. The infection was in my chest wound, I spent another three weeks in hospital
