Is It worth choosing a Doctor?
My neighbour has given me the name and contact information for a doctor he said is the best in my area for knee replacement surgery and said once I get a date for my surgery I can request that it is done by this doctor. I have looked at reviews and references online and they are indeed glowing, however

Was on Arava for 18 months but been off for 1 year due to hospitalisation for infection, also had bad gastrointestinal probs when on so was looking at coming off beforehand. My Rheumy thinks my symptoms don't 'match' my path results recently (been on pred for years) I am in a lot of pain shoulders

Shoe and shoe insoles
Hi all I'm hoping that I can get some suggestions about footwear or shock absorbing insoles. I have a bad knee (waiting for knee replacement op) and now have lower back pain. I'm going away soon and expect to walk lot more than I do at home. Any advice appreciated.

Stopping Actemra
I have to have a
hip
replacement
and my surgeon is worried about an infection as this could be really dangerous for me. He said they would wear moon suits in surgery but he is worried about when the surgery is over and I am back around people.

Total Knee Replacement Finally
I know it’s harder to recover from than
hip
replacement
, but I am not worried. It’s hurt for 20years so what does 1 more year matter? I guess the other one will need doing at some point, and as I’ve just turned 52 it isn’t ideal.

I’m about to have a total
Hip
Replacement
later this month, that is enough to worry about at the moment. I will be requesting a Referral back to the Eye Hospital Bristol tomorrow .. It appears that several of us have oddities going on, I wonder if there are more suffering similar symptoms?

I got my date for my Op ! Excited 😊
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve

hip replacement
How did you make the decision to have a replacement? I keep going between thinking that I need to have it as soon as possible and then I think no I will try everything else first. I can not walk more than 30 minutes without feeling pain (on a good day). I am on daily medication to help with the pain

Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Medical Cannabis?
Has anyone tried medical cannabis for pain relief? I have severe arthritis which limits my life quite a lot, my doctor won’t refer me for knee replacement until I lose more weight, and being on Rux has meant more weight gain! Obviously will need to ask haematologist about. It is quite expensive and

Aortic valve replacement
I was born with a buscupid aortic valve with no issues it was all monitored for years and i am now 51. However I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. I’m due a valve replacement at the end of the month and possibly root replacement, however the surgeon is yet to make a decision on
