Total knee replacement
19 days post op - been very tough especially when COVID thrown into the mix! My muscle tone wasn’t great pre-op but is now nonexistent. Is it possible to build muscle tone with PMR? Without PMR it’s possible to build good muscle tone with regular exercises but no matter how frequently I do my post op

knee surgery discussion with orthopedic surgeon
Hello out there, I would like to get some feedback from people who have had knee surgery that have RA. My last surgery (bladder mesh removal) meant I had no RA drugs in me for a month and it was brutal, trying to heal and being in a big flare from the trauma on my body. Any tips or words of wisdom

Low dose aspirin
Had anyone who is on low dose aspirin for life, found their iron levels have dropped. Went for pre assessment for total knee replacement a few weeks before Christmas and blood test showed my iron levels had dropped, so now going for iron infusion at local hospital this afternoon. Looking back on past

Travel Insurance
However if I were having a
hip
replacement
, ( for example) they would cover the arrhythmia!! I am angry and confused and really do not understand, but have to accept their conditions. Has anyone dealt with this before - if so, who did they use for travel insurance?

PMR & Osteoarthritis in Knees
I have been added to the waiting list for knee replacement. I am trying to loose weight which I feel will help the pain in my knees. They can be very stiff some days and difficult to bend and I do get pain in the back of my thighs and shin splint pain too. I wonder if this is part of PMR ? I would hate

right knee replacement
It’s been a slow trip fighting arthritis on top of recurring PCA. Still on a Lupron vacation. Osteopenia cleared up after 21 months with only bicalutamide, T rose to 226, and PSA has stayed less than 0.1. I finally have a new knee! It‘s painful but every night is a bit better than the night before

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

knee replacement
I see my liver doctor again in January and if all goes well I’ll have knee replacement surgery in Feb. it’s taken me awhile to decide because I was worried about the impact post op that anesthesia and pain meds might have on my liver. My lab numbers have remain within normal range for the past 2

Surgery and Pred?
I am due to have a knee replacement fairly soon - I met someone else with PMR yesterday and she asked me whether I intended to increase my dose of Pred prior to surgery. I'd not thought about this and I hope it's not necessary. Can anyone advise? Thank you.

recovery expectations
Hi all I’m coming up to 5 weeks after valve replacement, removal of web and thinning of thickened muscle. Had x ray and ecg, 60% healed and function looking good apparently. Which is great news. I’ve been walking each day, I’m up to a couple of miles and on short hills BPM up to 130. May have overdid

Using Red Clover, Sage and Ashwagandha for the menopause, and it's safety with hypothyroidism?
Hiya. I am currently in the menopause with early onset osteoporosis, and have autoimmune related hypothyroidism. I am looking into various ways to manage this, conventional HRT being the least desirable. I much prefer natural ways to manage my health wherever possible, and I've found various herbal supplements

HRT post ovarian cancer
Hi, does anyone have anything on HRT post ovarian cancer and radical hysterectomy? I’m 14 years post diagnosis and struggling with brain fog and fatigue. Is HRT an option?
