A big unknown
Hi Luludean For me I have to say I honestly don't know. An unexplained collapse in April 2020 started it all. Don't remember feeling anything in my chest at the time but then again don't remember much until coming round on the kitchen floor. Loop recorder implanted July 2020 then picked up subtle

fluid after detached retina
I had a detached retina last September 2023 with successful surgery. The fluid in my eye is still reabsorbing slowly, I’ve been told it is unusual to take this long. My original glasses are not suitable now but the consultant says do not get new ones yet. What can I do in the meantime.

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

Anesthesia and PD
I’m planning on having Morton’s neuroma surgery in a few weeks, unless I chicken out! I’m concerned about any negative effects because of anesthesia . I’m going to check to see if doing some type of block instead of General, is a possibility. Has anyone had that operation, or have experience with different

surgery before chemo
hi all My mums been diagnosed stage 3 HGSC - and the treatment plan has been determined to be surgery before chemo. My understanding was that chemo first was preferable - has anyone else had it in this order? (know I should trust the doctors but am overthinking a bit here! ☺️) thanks in advance

Excision on NHS
Hi everyone. Hope you are well. Does any of you know if we have any surgeons on NHS that perform excision surgery? I don't mind if it is not in London etc. I had previously had one privately done but now I don't have the funds so I'm looking within the NHS. Thank you.

7 weeks post-op, urinating still a concern
Reading my operation notes, I have something called 'bilateral ureters', which I googled & it's a rare a rare urinary tract abnormality, which explains having a lot of UTIs throughout my life! I haven't had a chat with the surgeon yet - but every time I wee, it feels a little like the end of a UTI /

Diagnosed, anxious & waiting for gyno
Was diagnosed with Endometriosis after receiving results from Ultrasound Scan. Was informed I am showing signs of Negative Uterine Sliding sign. Something about my bowel not sitting right with others… I haven’t really been told much else other than surgery is most likely treatment. I have had pains

I coughed up a little blood last august and thinking that I could possibly have an eneurism, I was sent to A&E. An x-ray showed a shadow in the lower left lobe of the lung. Because I was fit and healthy in all other respects I was treated for pneumonia and discharged with antibiotics but with a follow-up

Subcutaneous lump in chest.
Four weeks ago I noticed a red patch on the skin about 25mm dia. and itching. There was a lump the same size. I thought it might be a boil or some such so I did nothing. Two weeks later the red patch was the same but the lump was now about 90mm dia. Not painful. Was due for a urinary scan that weekend

4 years to a correct diagnosis of Perineal Prolapse.
After 4 years with my pelvic floor issue & a failed sacrocolpopexy surgery in 2022, I had to attend A&E in January 2024 in a lot of pain. In February 2024 I was finally gifted a MRI scan. A san they should of referred me for in 2020. A Urogyneocology appointment in March 2024 & it was explained to me

Started new thyroid medication Mon 😡
Sorry everyone but this is going to be a rant.... As many members will know I stopped taking my thyroid medication on January 31st because the incompetent endo put me back on teva, which I certainly don't get on with (gastric side effects amongst other side effects) Through my surgeon in Liverpool for

Bad dumping incident?
Hi there. Just thought I’d reach out to see if anyone can relate to my situation. I’m over 5 months from three way Oesophageal Surgery. I was doing really well with eating and fitness levels. Then last Friday (after a Chinese takeaway which didn’t consist of more than some noodles and a bit of chicken

Ignorance of some GPs...a cautionary tale...
Yesterday I went to my surgery to collect next lot of pred and was told I needed a dr's review. I have never been refused pred before in 8 years. I insisted on a Tel appointment and said it was Urgent. A Dr phoned me later and said "do you take pred for your chest?"....Pardon? I am a long time steroid

Thyroid nodules surgery survey (BTF)
Posting this because helping with research is often a good idea. However, there are only three days to go! I've only just noticed it and have not gone through what they are asking for. [i]

Two weeks post surgery now
Big sigh. Two weeks post surgery now and I still can’t help feeling how different this is from my previous two. I’ve called the hospital twice regarding ‘complications’ (or so I think but they don’t). The pain has subsided but it’s still there and I’m so tender with a big lump near the lower-most

The things that happen 🤷♂️
Good Morning everyone we didn’t see the eclipse yesterday as we had cloud ☁️ cover and was only going to see 35 percent anyway. Still have photos saved from 2017 was great 👍🏼 Hopefully more of you got to enjoy this. Still plugging along and poor Rozy has an ear infection so I was up putting medication
