Burning pain in right armpit (CABG 10/18/23)
Hi everybody!I had my CABG done last Oct and was wondering if anyone else has experienced a burning shooting pain in one or both of their armpits? It started about a month or so ago in my right armpit and has continously gotten a little stronger over time.

Low heart rate
12 days ago my husband had a log hit him in the shin whilst splitting logs. At the time it came up like a tennis ball but other than that didn’t think too much of it. The swelling has gone down but he is getting pain in his leg. Not the leg they harvested from for his CABG x5). Eventually we decided

Tomorrow I get my Cardiac CT Results
I was hoping that I could reverse my plaque scores but after reading a medical journal, I will now be happy with status quo.This is what it states: Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) have been proposed to accelerate native coronary atherosclerosis. In patients with established coronary artery disease

8 months post Nstemi and quadruple CABG
it’s not all been a linear progress but it has been pretty darn good. Back ggedt issue I’ve had is with my statins. I thought it was the Bisoprolol (1.25mg ) and ramipril (half a 1.25mg tablet) that was making me dizzy , fatigued and zombie like every afternoon to early evening. Plus I had cognitive

Targinact
I have had RLS for over 20 years and have tried most medications, the latest being Pregabalin, which was good but is now not working so well. I therefore asked my GP if I could try Targinact as I read this is now licensed for RLS. He has agreed and I just need to taper Pregabalin. Can anyone

My progress
Last weekend was 9 months since my AVR & CABG. I also had 2xPCI three weeks before that. This week I’ve been back to my local Cardiac Unit for a progress check. I’d had blood tests a month ago with my GP and they were fine. So the result is I’ve been told that they will book an echo for me in two years

RLS and neuropathy?
hey all, hope you’re doing well. Although I’ve been on Oxycodone consistently enough to keep the RLS at bay, I have noticed new symptoms of what seems to be peripheral neuropathy. in addition to the feelings of electrocution, which is what my RLS feels like, I have burning in my extremities. My

update on prolotherapy
I have had my first prolotherapy injections, they don't hurt much at all.......I must admit the next day I thought oh no I have done the wrong thing....my legs were so bad I wanted to jump off the bridge. Today they have settled down a bit. I suppose this has happened because the prolotherapy causes

Follow up to Monday CABG
First of all I want to thank you all for the messages of support i received before my operation on the 19th of February. The good news is that my triple bypass was a success ! I spent a total of 10 days in hospital, I had a few ups and downs, but overall I have had a positive experience, albeit sometimes

Apomorphine
Has anyone here, particularly with drug resistant tremor, been put on apomorphine? It sounds like a nightmare; a drug that has no relation to morphine, that's meant for dogs, makes you incredibly nauseous and sick, needs to be administered via a pump or injection and would be given during off periods

Question about mood
does anyone else get depression like symptoms, anxiety like symptoms and just an overall flat affect as you wait the month out for your next injection? I was self injecting in between but the needle jabs are starting to really hurt now so I stopped.
