Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Medical Cannabis?
Has anyone tried medical cannabis for pain relief? I have severe arthritis which limits my life quite a lot, my doctor won’t refer me for knee replacement until I lose more weight, and being on Rux has meant more weight gain! Obviously will need to ask haematologist about. It is quite expensive and

Knee replacement and Parkinson's
Husband with Parkinson's getting steadily worse now, particularly balance/walking. Diagnosed 5 years ago, probably had it 3/4 years previously. The problem is that he now needs total knee replacement for both knees. We have a very long awaited appointment with Neurology nurse in October to discuss

Advice Please
Hi everyone. I have had 16 gynaecological operations starting at aged 13 and ending 23 years ago a day before my 40th birthday when I had an emergency hysterectomy where for some reason they left my cervix. Following my op they tried HRT but my BP shot up so I was taken off it. Urinary incontinence

Knee Replacement Yesterday
Thanks to those of you who wished me well yesterday. I had full knee replacement surgery yesterday afternoon. On the advice of the surgical team I had my normal dose of Prednisolone in the morning. Epidural for the op and played nice music through my ear buds to drown out the sound of the team and the

tear in my meniscus cartilage
What a difference two weeks can make. Two weeks ago I you asked if I should attempt a taper to try to force my adrenals to wake up. The circumstances were not very good and you advised me to leave it for a while so I took your advice. A few days later I somehow got a tear in the cartilage of my knee

RLS worse after knee replacement
I've taken Pramipexole for a long time and it's worked. However, after recent knee replacement surgery (7th Feb), the RLS is driving me mad. I'm up every night after 1 or 2 hours' sleep and end up taking an opioid to settle it.Can the pain from the knee be causing it? Any advice welcome.

Compressions
HelloI am 9 weeks post TKR in right knee and I think I might have a problem with my Compressions. I have lower leg Lymphoedema and my left leg was always worst for swelling. Since my knee surgery, my right leg is swelling more. Obviously, this would be partly due to the surgery but when I wear my compression

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone

Do I have Ords?
I’ve been having a big flare up of symptoms following knee replacement last July. Recently my eyes have become very inflamed, blurry vision, pain when I move my eyes sideways or up and down and they ache and feel like they’re burning. I finally saw the GP who was quite concerned so ordered an Opthalmology

Terrified
47 years old. I had knee surgery almost 2 weeks ago and after the surgery I took the prescribed narcotics for 4 days. Every time I take these I get constipated.

Help with tapering Prednisone
I was diagnosed with PMR finally in Oct 23 after ending up in hospital unable to move. Doctors have been very dismissive and I have seen rheumatologist once and been signed off. I started on Prednisone at 12.5mg then reduced to 10 mg and have been told to reduce by 1mg per month. Is this a realistic

Chondocalcitis incurable?
At least that's how I think it's spelt. It's a specialised form of RA and I have it in my left knee (along with normal RA in shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers.It's also called Pseudogout but as the crystals in Chondocalcitis are calcium they can't be dispersed as the uric acid crystals in ordinary

1 year on from heart attack and stent fitted. Still struggling.
I walked to the hospital for an appointment today, for a pre-op for a knee replacement. The hospital is only half a mile. On the way back I was out of breath and experiencing pain in the top left hand side of my chest and light-headed, and I had to sit and catch my breath. At the pre-op they checked

knee replacement
hi, I’m due to have a knee replacement in a few weeks and wondered if anyone who has had the procedure experienced any issues. I’m aware of my issues regarding medication ie allergy to warfarin but ok with heparin and have opted for an epidural but my concern is with the implant itself being rejected
