Knee replacement - biologics
Had an appt with knee consultant today. Need a replacement done but he won’t commit to doing it until I get a ‘meds plan’ from my rheumatologist re biologics (I’ve recently started on Amgevita). He wants info on how long before surgery to stop taking it. I’m also on Methotrexate and Sulphasalazine but

Really useful document
Hi, I have just read this very useful document from an NHS trust - lots of detail to reassure post CABG surgery patients https://www.uhcw.nhs.uk/download/clientfiles/files/Patient%20Information%20Leaflets/Trauma%20and%20Neuro%20services/Cardiothoracic/Recovering%20from%20Heart%20Surgery%20Going%20Home.pdf

ProAct success
I had RP back in 2018 successfully but was left with mild incontinence as a result. I researched different options to address my problem and eventually pursued ProAct therapy which involves the insertion of tiny balloons up to the bladder neck sphincter and are inflated to the proper pressure to close

Eye brow hair loss
Hi, a few days ago I posted my story on this forum. Today I would like to focus on one problem in particular, eye brow hair loss. I always had rather thin and far from perfect eye brows, but since I had my surgery it got much worse. I feel very bad and embarrassed about it 😞 I understand that

walking around for three hours
my urogynaecologist has put me on 10 mg amitriptyline every night. I started it yesterday. I was staggering around for three hours. My left leg and foot were jumping with rls. I am also on 900 mg of gabapenguin and 20 mg of fluoxetine. I believe the fluoxetine and amitriptyline are making my rls much

Treatment for bone pain?
A friend of mine is experiencing severe bone pain from advanced prostate cancer. His MO is prescribing morphine ( tablets). He says it does help. But I was wondering if there are other medications that can be used for the pain? He is currently on Lupron + aberaterone. He is in his seventh year fighting

incredibly lucky
I feel so incredibly lucky after reading some of your stories. I had a HA 5 yrs ago, was told that if someone has to have a HA they would want one like yours? It was explained to me that it was on the right side and very low down?? I stayed overnight in hospital and the first time I saw a consultant

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

Duopa anyone?
My husband's neurologist has recommended he get a Duopa pump. His C/L meds don't work as well anymore (lots of 'off time') so this is the next option. The pump is similar to a feeding tube and uses a daily cartridge to deliver C/L in gel form directly into his blood stream, thereby avoiding his stomach

"Run, definitely run"
Any Avatar fans out there might remember Sigourney Weaver saying this.More recently, the cancer nurse at my cli7nic appointment before my surgery used exactly the same words in the same tone of voice when I asked if I should continue to run or rest between then and the operation. She and the surgeon

Post CABG infection at leg wound site
My husband had Triple bypass surgery on 1st Dec. Recovered really well and was looking great with minimal pain and getting stronger every day. Wounds had healed well although leg wound/scar where they took the saphenous vein was still a bit lumpy although closed, dry and healthy looking. Suddenly three

canker sore, low wbc and GI infection
Hi all, I’m nearing 8 months post transplant. Up until last week, things were going really well. My kidney function was the best it had been a gfr of 64 and I was starting to feel a return to normal. I had a low wbc but transplant center wasn’t concerned. And then the SH*T hit the fan. I came down
