Fibroscan result waiting time?
Please can somebody tell me how long it takes to receive results for a fibroscan? I started this journey in November 2023 after asking for a general check-up at my GP surgery because of some non-liver related issues. I had no awareness at all that my liver could be damaged. After a few rounds of blood

osteoporosis following pmr
my pmr diagnosis coincided with the start of lockdown so I never saw a doctor. I was eventually prescribed pred and omeprazol over the phone in May 2020 and thankfully managed to taper down to zero by early 2023 after major abdominal surgery. All seems fine for now but my new Gp was shocked that I never

menstruation after bilateral oophorectomy
Hi, I'm really hoping to open a big list of answers, but I'm stumped. In 2020 I had surgery and both ovaries were removed since they were necrotic. I never really knew what happened because you hadn't even started a sexual life and it turns out that they were infected by a sexually transmitted infection

Total hysterectomy with oopherectomy recovery advice needed please!
Hi all, it’s been about 3 years since I wrote into this group. Back then I was considering having a hysterectomy to help relive the symptoms of severe endo. I still couldn’t decide so I decided to wait and see how I felt in a few years. Well, life had other plans. I got stage 3 ovarian cancer at 40

Quadratus Lumborem Pain
I am a 68 yr old male who has had lumbar pain for 20+ years now and before my last surgery (I've had 2) my MRI showed my lowest 5 discs are bad. Anyway, last fall I somehow hurt my quadratus lumborem muscle on my right side and the pain has been so debillitating it has rendered me unable to walk on

Persistant AF and non-connected surgical procedures.
I had paroxysmal AF for a number of years become more frequent and more symptomatic over time. On 28 November last year I had Cryo-ablation and had meds changed from Sotolol (which clearly wasn't working) to Amiodarone. unfortunately the ablation does not appear to have been effective as after one

Robotic wedge lung resection
During my pet scan a lung shadow was reported. Biopsy failed to get tissue but Drs. do not think it is from the stage 2/3 prostate cancer. They recommend a wedge resection via a daVinci mechanism to remove it. I'd like to hear from someone who has had that surgery but since it may be tangential to this
