For anyone with endo or suspected endo
DR PETA WRIGHT (Taken from Instagram recently) Just a VERY interesting opinion for anyone interested in the bigger picture of endometriosis. Long read! Study hot off the press from Dr Karen Joseph. This study looked at women who underwent laparoscopy for pelvic pain over a twelve month period. Around

How rare is it to be diagnosed with PMR at age 45?
I am writing to ask advice from this excellent Forum which has been such a help to me in the 3 years since I was eventually diagnosed with PMR, having had a nightmare obtaining help and support due to Covid, lockdowns, lack of face to face appointments etc. My own journey remains a struggle, but I'm

I told him I have pain every day and it's bad. I also have pain in my hip, elbow and hands. He said to have more blood tests and see the physio

Hello all - 71 years old and hoping to run!
Hello all I did Couch to 5k 5 when I was in my mid-60s and loved it. I got to 5k easily and ran 2-3 times a week for about 2 years and lost a stone of weight naturally without dieting. Now at 71, I've got various health problems and have put on a stone plus from taking steroids daily for 18 months.

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

Why am I so triggered by other āADHD behaviourā now?
I always thought of myself as a tolerant person. I work in a hospital as a Physio, on the surface at least, I have a lot of patience for what I now am able to label as behaviours that would indicate someone else (staff or patient) may be having difficulty regulating themselves, managing their emotions

Frustrating!
So having reached week 8 and feeling pretty pleased with myself I suffered some kind of calf strain which stopped in my tracks! Took a week off but back to it at 5.30 in this morning! Unfortunately had to stop after 20 mins as still uncomfortable. Pretty frustrating but off to the local physio on Wednesday
