Bob update (ICD wound revision)
I was in hospital again yesterday. This was scheduled, following the appearance of Bob and a few friends. Bob was the pet name for a pointy lump next to my clavicle and above my ICD. He was at risk of puncturing through the skin. You can learn about Bob's appearance (or if you are a bit more hip, [i]

I have dilated cardiomyopathy low ef and have been diagnosed since 2006. I have a crtd implanted and a icd before that. In august I attended a local hospital for a download of my crtd at the request of my normal hospital. I thought it literally would be a download instead they changed settings to

Laproscopy and hysterocopy
Hi all had a diagnostic laproscopy 19th June which removed some endo and a large cyst. Also had a hysteroscopy to remove polyps healing really well. Was told the only way to slow down recurrence of endo was to have coil or get pregnant. I've had so many issues with a variety of contraception and really

Implant or Injections
I am 21 diagnosed endo laparoscopy last year & had hormonal coil which is due for removal in December (I think it was containing my pain but now it isn’t)My pain is increasing dramatically so consultant has recommended implant or injections when coil is removed. I’m wondering how I am supposed to decide

Ectopics & Fatigue
Hi, I am new to this forum but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or comments on my situation. I’m a 66 year old retired male. I had a three lead CRT-D fitted in September and I am now unwell with ectopic beats and general fatigue. I have been to my GP and the hospital several times. At the 6 week ICD

ICD/Pacemaker Job Done
Hi all. Got the implant op on Wednesday and home yesterday. Everything went like clockwork (excuse the pun). I cant praise the staff at Edingurgh Royal Infirmary enough. They were wonderful. It was a very strange experience being awake while this was going on. I could feel all the pulling pushing happening

Ultrasounds/MRIs - My experience and why you need to advocate for yourself if they don’t show Endo!
Controversial take here on ultrasounds and MRIs, but I responded to another users query with the below info, and wanted to share it more widely as I think more people need to challenge their doctors when they are told the scans didn't show anything but you are still in pain. I was diagnosed with severe

Confidence
First time on this forum and feeling a little nervous about posting. I had an ICD fitted in 2013 after my heart peaked at 345bpm according to the HRM in the back of the ambulance. The device did its job 6 months later after an episode and kicked 15 times rather than the recognised 3. I had an ablation

BFP naturally after failed ivf & iui
Hi all hope you are getting your bfps and for those who haven’t trust me your turn is coming. I turned 36 this year and we had unexplained infertility. After failed a IVF cycle and 2 IUIs i decided to give my body a break and recover emotionally after 11 months of TTC. I then consulted with my chinesse

ICD: Going under the bonnet again
My post-implantation journey had been going reasonably well until I noticed a tiny hard lump protruding just where the leads enter my subclavian vein. It was very small to begin with and appeared within a couple of weeks of surgery. I thought it was subcutaneous sutures and so left it be. I called it

S-ICD
Hi,Had my subcutaneous ICD fitted just over a month ago. So thought I'd post to let anyone else having one know how it is living with one. Firstly I am doing fine, it was weird at first having a box inside me, but you soon just get on with it. The box is placed a little bit further back than flat

Mirena coil during laparoscopy
Hey everyone, I’ve just been for my pre op appointment all went well but I asked the nurse wether I could have my copper coil taken out and replaced with a Mirena during surgery and he said I’d have to speak to the surgeon about it on the day of surgery. This seems really last minute and kinda stresses

copper coil
has anyone experienced horrible headaches with the ten year copper coil. I’m only a few weeks in and they said it will take a few months to settle but I thought that would be bleeding or cramps but not migraines? It’s non hormonal so I’m not sure why it wd give me headaches but I also have painful twinges

Bleeding after Laparoscopy
Hi all, Please note this maybe to much info .... Apologies. Sorry for the question. I know there is a few topics regarding Laparoscopy but just want to understand if what's happening is normal. I had my laparoscopy 3 weeks ago. All the incisions have healed well and from surgery side of things I'm

Feeling deflated after first appointment with Gynaecology! Yet another ultrasound! 😢
Hi I’m completely new to the group, joined after my urology doctor referred me to gynaecology to have a laparoscopy to investigate endometriosis. Since then I have researched a lot and convinced I have endometriosis! Everything I have been through the last 3 years points to endo. (I didn’t know about

Nerve pain after icd fitted.
I had icd fitted on 1st June this year following cardiac arrest. For two weeks afterwards I had intense nerve like pain in my left shoulder. Pain killers didn't work but after a couple of weeks the pain stopped but in past few weeks it has returned not with the intensity of before but enough to wake
