Weight Loss Surgery
I'm 18 years post transplant and want/need to lose weight. I haven't been offered any of the weight loss drugs. However, I'm being encouraged to go the surgery route. My BMI is around 37 but I'm type 2 diabetic and have high blood pressure. I'm concerned for my kidney with all the diet restrictions

Wanting to learn from you...
Hello! I am here to learn what kinds of things you experience after breast cancer surgery. I am a physical therapist and I see people who seem to have similar experiences of not being given good advice as to what to do, what therapies to seek, what exercises to do, or anything pre or post surgically

GCA. Pulsatile tinnitus
May I ask what any of you good people know about pulsatile tinnitus. Do you consider my GP should see me, or at least write to me or speak to me on telephone. When I recently started hearing my heartbeat in same ear that GCA symptoms started I called my rheumatology dept & was seen. Had blood tests

Minor surgery and pred
Has anyone had minor surgery with general anesthetic while on less than 5 pred? I was told that 5 was the magic number they were interested but am wondering if they just ignore the steroids all together lower than 5. I will be flourishing that steroid treatment card for sure! Just to be on the safe

Worried my Ca125 is 145 after 5 chemos, one to go.
Hello ladies I am almost to the end of first line treatment for stage 4 clear cell. I had 3 chemos, then successful surgery, then 2 more chemos. My final one was meant to be today but my bloods were low so its put back a week which has left me feeling deflated as everything so far has gone to plan &

A little moan about the NHS and positive outcome come on my private consultation with 2 consultants Hip and Back
Ok so I have been having serious issues with my Back and hip both separate issues and the NHS seem to take it as my back as a degenerative issue even after having an MRI done(seen by spinal team )🤷🤦 . My hip was said to be a muscular issue which needed physio. Was seeing 2 different sets of physio

Why it’s a good idea to use your Kardia etc regularly
It’s a saga but will make it as short as possible! I have paroxysmal AF, big nuisance but I don’t usually have fast episodes any more, take Apixaban anticoagulant so I put up with it. On Friday afternoon while quietly looking at a book an episode started. As usual pretty nasty for first two hours but

Newly diagnosed. Looking for advice
Good morning. I've sadly recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I was suffering 5 years ago with calprotectin score 450 and had a urgent colonoscopy that found polyps and piles which were removed biopsied/ banded. Continued to have on off blood in stools for a few years each time I was blaming

Death from other-than PCa is not a "success"
A tongue-in-cheek stated goal by many here with PCa (including myself for the past 17 years since dianosis) has been to live to die of "anything other" than prostate cancer. Of course that does not bear up to close scrutiny. Many alternative causes of death, including the "big 4" of Cardiovascular Disease

endo belly post surgery?
Hi, I had surgery about 5 weeks ago. Stage 4 endo, including on bowels, and all was removed as far as I know. I thought the endo belly might settle down but honestly I still look like I’ve got a tire around my lower abdomen. I plan to get back into exercise. Does anyone have any insight/tips? Thank

Diaphragmatic and/or Umbilical Endo
Hi Please could anyone with diagnosed diaphragmatic or umbilical endo advise of their symptoms and anything that helped besides surgery for associated symptoms? I strongly suspect endo has spread with the symptoms experiencing and waiting to get back into endo clinic for referral for second surgery

Broken wrist update
Today confirmed no need for surgery (whew). Last week plaster cast replaced with fibreglass one, which was (painfully) molded to keep a piece of bone from separating further from where it was supposed to be, and that bone didn't move any more. In four weeks I return for removal of cast and probably

Brain Surgery Recovery
After brain surgery as I had, or any type of surgery, it can be difficult to get back into life. It takes time and patience. Those 2 words I now hate. But it’s important to commit yourself to get thru the anxiety and depression. Overcoming a major event in life is difficult but it has to be done

Haitus hernia
hi everyone, I’ve posted in this group a few times, with regards to the same issue. I am a 28 years old female, and have recently been diagnosed with a 3cm sliding haitus hernia, I’m really having a miserable time with the relentless symptoms - which change from acid reflux, to belching and post nasal

My Cancer Journey Repost
It's time for a repost of my two-part cancer journey diary. Some "starting the journey readers" might find it helpful. Originally posted as two Health Unlocked "replies" - maybe I should make them an actual full "post". So I am pleased to report that
other than fatigue, I feel sort of normal right

Coated Pred
Hi Everyone, I’ve been quietly getting on with my Pred Reduction (DL Plan) and pleased to report that I’m now on 3.5mg. I began splitting dosage a while ago: 2.5 Coated at bedtime (theory of slow release) and the rest at 4 - 6am or whenever nature sends me to the bathroom. This seems to have worked

Not a PMR question but I’m hoping someone here can help. Sorry it’s a long post. I have been off pred for a couple of months and all is well, fingers crossed. I was offered, because I am now 70, a health check by the local surgery and asked for ESR and CRP to be checked too. They are good but my

bowel blockage
Had bowel resection 6 years ago . Iliostomy bag and then successful reversal . Had an appendectomy about a year later, because my appendix were stuck to my ileostomy scar internally. I had pain and went to the hospital, but my surgery wasn’t emergency. I was scheduled about two weeks later for the appendectomy
