Open Heart Surgery, (OHS) General Comments 2
4 weeks post redo AVR. I thought this information might be helpful to others in a similar place. I was noticing and getting a bit concerned about some increase in pain in and around the wound site and in the intercostal muscles. My cardiac event follow up nurse pointed out that this is a common experience

No confidence in healthcare.
I have become a pessimist. I have lost all confidence in our healthcare system. Doctors who you schedule an appointment with, you're really sick, and they spend maybe 4 minutes talking with you and say come back in 4 months. You call again and say somethings really wrong with me. Then I go to the ER

Severe constant pelvic pain
I’m in so much pain and the doctors can’t seem to diagnose it. 5 weeks ago I had painful urination and I was given antibiotics. But a couple of weeks later it progressed to severe pelvic pain, I have lower abdominal aches, dark cloudy urine that smells strong. For the past 2 days I’ve been getting chills

Guilt and Shame
Hi does anyone else suffering with Fibro feel guilt or shame having to ask for help from others who do not really understand the condition and think you are putting it on? I have recently been diagnosed following two earth shattering traumas I pray nobody else has to experience. Up to then I had raised

Still standing! us and the trees
We’ve had a bit of a break from running. I had a health scare and between appointments, storms and worry we’ve done nothing much but next week a barrage of tests start and if they aren’t in a hurry I’m not too scared any more, so today being a day off we discussed going out, took some pain pills, then

Aspirin as a painkiller??
This is probably a very very dim question, but can you still use aspirin as a medicine if you're also taking it for ET?? I take 50mg daily and normally just take paracetamol as a painkiller but I have a hideous cold and trying to look after two sick kids too. Can I take aspirin complex??? I used to

Bad flare up, stressing myself out
I think I’m entering into a flare up and am getting myself stressed out which I’m sure isn’t helping. Any tips for managing the stress and anxiety that come from this condition appreciated. For about a week I’ve had really low grade pain in my abdomen which I’ve been able to manage but I knew I was approaching

Worsening symptoms after laparoscopy
Hello everyone, This is my first post so thanks for reading it! I feel like I need to speak this out. So, I had laparoscopy a few months ago. The reason for this was that I had an ectopic pregnancy, and things turned out more severe than they thought so they removed my tube. This was the first time

Lexapro Prep
Hello Everyone, I was prescribed the generic lexapro 5mg for general anxiety. Is there anything I should do before taking the medicine such as having pepto on hand, certain foods or pain relievers? Also, should I not do anything to interactive for - like a week such as work?

Nerve pain after years of nothing
5 years ago I had a vein cautorised in my left leg. While they were doing the op they damaged a nerve in my upper thigh and ever since I've had a numb patch on my thigh. It's kind of been like when you've been out in the cold and your skin is numb but you can still feel pressure. It's never bothered

What to use for pain relief after an operation...no NSIDS!
I am having my gallbladder remove next week. I’m category 3 kidney disease and I mentioned to the surgeon that I can’t use any NSIDs as pain killers. He brushed my statement off with a “You can still take them...your kidney disease isn’t that bad!” I was in shock! Still am! I am NOT going to do so! Besides
