Can you flare with OA
It's an odd question but I saw a nurse after following phone call for support over 3 weeks ago. Not good when you are in Alot of pain. I'm told I have OA in my right knee. Confirmed by Xrays taken over 3 years ago. GP prescribed steroids and pain reduced within a couple of days. So i would say the

RLS Meds & Post-Surgical complications
I had a knee replacement a year ago. It went well, except my doctor took me off my Tramadol, 100 mg/3 per day, while keeping me on my 100 mg, 3x/day Pregabalin—it works well together. Instead he had me on 5 mg of Oxycodone every 4 hours. He thought the Oxycodone would an effective substitute for the

Why does improvement of symptoms seem to matter so little when treating hypothyroidism?
Quite a wordy title (and a lengthy post - sorry!), but it's something that has been bothering me ever since I passed the first 6 months post-TT, and even more so now, following @waveylines' post from earlier this week concerning the NHS' newly reiterated views on NDT (thank you for making such an informative

7dp5dt red blood
hey all I am 7dp5dt and this morning I had a spot of red blood on my tissue when I wiped. I feel like I am about to start my period dull ache in belly, lower back and legs.i am taking HRT 3times a day and cyclogest pessaries twice a day so does this mean the spotting can't be the start of my period

Am I not converting very well?
Hi I am attaching my spreadsheet with my latest results and some previous results for context. I feel like I am treading a very fine line with my energy levels at the moment. If I have a busy couple of days or stay up a bit later etc I very quickly go into a flair up which results in really bad headache

celiac and hypothyroidism
hello all. All apologies of this has been asked before but I’m new to this forum. I’ve recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and my follow up blood test showed that my TSH was now normal range and my vitamin D was still low. Including high cholesterol levels After waiting 5 weeks!! For a telephone

Ignorance
Slight rant but more despair at the ignorance of ones, and lack of desire for them to educate themselves before making assertive statements about treatment. Let me briefly explain, on Saturday I went to a family gathering, long time since everyone together. Included my sister and family from Australia

Pain L/H/S when lying in bed
Both showed mild OA and Rheumy said it was unlikely I would need a hip
replacement
as the OA was in the part joining the hip
joint
. Physiotherapist checked me over 3 weeks ago, not bursitis and plenty of movement in left hip and I felt no pain when she pulled me this way and that.

Weight Loss
Has anyone successfully lost weight with ckd? Has anyone tried baratric surgery to lose weight? My story in a nutshell. I was diagnosed with stage 3 ckd in January. At the same time I was seeing an orthopedic surgeon for hip and knee pain. A series of x-rays plus some sort of bone scan using radioactive

Is this a flare or lingering post op pain ?
I am 8 weeks post hip replacement and am reducing prednisolone 2.5 to 2mg. I have been having lower back pain and stiff shoulders first thing since returning home which gradually disappears once I get up. Not sure whether this is because I have had to sleep on my back (normally a side sleeper) or it

Complete newbie advice please
Hi everyone, I’ve joined because I went for a load of tests at hospital including thyroid function tests (due to chronic rashes and illness I was having trying to find cause) whilst all my bloods were normal, I was told my TPO antibodies were elevated at 242 suggestive of possible future thyroid disease

Oestriol and Lupus
I am 71 and have had recurrent UTIs. My GP has prescribed me Oestriol cream and told to use it daily, on my genitals, to help with the post-menopausal atrophy of the general area but particularly around my urethral opening. With oestriol I do not need progesterone. The leaflet in the box

Finally FT3 is up again but could FT4 do with a nudge upwards
I’m really happy with latest labs and overall I’m feeling good but wonder if there’d be anything to be gained by taking just one more low dose glandular and take the risk that FT3 will go over range Might I sleep that bit better and have that bit more energy, be that bit more motivated and focused and
