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

Terrible sleep issues
So now I’m 10+ weeks into treatment consisting of Lupron+Abiraterrone and have completed 5 of 20 radiation sessions. In many ways things seem to be going very well. My PSA numbers have gone from 8.4 to .2 and still falling. My side effects have been minimal , only lately have I seen some mild hot

Why am I so triggered by other “ADHD behaviour” 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

Hi all on the lung site , I have had two more messages from the respiratory team about my lung cancer diagnosis and me and my family are getting upset with this way laying tactics., so we are all a bit fed up with it. They have now changed the agreement again in respect of radiation treatment, and

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

Have I made a mistake
I posted last weekend about having lower back pain and being sick after taking my pred. Apologies for the long post. The pain in my lower back and side has continued and moved down the front of my leg which is numb. I saw the GP who said I had a trapped nerve to take painkillers and if no better

Managing Pudendal Neuralgia pain
Hi all, I joined this forum to remain on top of developments around the complex pelvic floor issues affecting women and to seek support from others. In my experience these are generally poorly understood by doctors in the UK especially at consultant level and there is an absence of multi agency support

Could this be PMR?
Hi there. I have been lurking in the background for a while. I have OA and in fact had both hips replaced-2014 and 2021 to great effect!! However for the past 2 years or so I have had various rounds of physio to try and resolve a stiff neck and sciatic pain. No real relief and Ibruprofen doesn’t help

ROWING: Trying out some new immersive tech - EXR
As I was pretty much unable to run over the last four weeks, due to reoccurring calf strains, my rowing took on centre stage again. So I did gave myself the luxury of subscribing for six months to an immersive rowing app for my indoor rows. It’s called EXR and it’s running on the Apple TV I had put

pectoralis major discomfort ??
Hi, For a few months before I was diagnosed with PMR I had discomfort across my upper chest. I attributed it to everything from poor posture to muscle strain even though I felt I had done nothing to aggravate it. It lasted several months , went to a physio thinking it would help and I did the recommended

A happy ending (at the moment)

Thank you for all your Kind messages and thoughts, will hopefully catch up with you all in the week when my eye as cleared a little. Other treatment is on hold till after the physio on the 14th. And apparently radiotheraphy can make you a little ill so may not be on so frequently in the next few

Friday update
Ralphs had a really good week , even though it was BH. Physio are pleased with him and say he can walk up and down the ward corridor without a nurse with him as long as he asks if it's okay each time. Had his cuff down and hour a day, and today SALT took it down at 11 this morning and stayed and played
