Joint pain
In the past I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis then told I had fibromyalgia when I switched rheumatologist. I quit going to doctors and taking meds (hydroxychloroquine, enbrel and mythelprednosolone) and started crossfit which did help until I needed spinal fusion (bounce house not crossfit) which

Pain now or pain later
I'm 30 years old. I had corrective surgery for scoliosis and acute lateral shift when I was 13. I was reasonably fine until about 2 years ago where I started having severe pain in my hip. After over a year of tests and checks it seems that the facet joints at the base of my spinal fusion are rubbing

So surgery...
It seems that after about 4 years I'll need to fuse my ankle. Unfortunately the subtler joint fusion I received in August didn't fuse all the way and the infection I got in November and second surgery in December to remove the screws didn't help. I recently just got a steroid shot (again) and of course

RA Ankle Fusion
Hey all, So I've been dealing with RA for four years now, I'm currently 20, and I recently had a subtalor joint fusion in my right ankle. Unfortunately my hardware in my ankle got infected and they took it out. We're unsure if there was a nonfusion. The fusion doesn't seem to be working though, the past

Tummy pain post-surgery... how long?
I was very lucky pre my surgery, as once the chemo cleared up my remaining
Pleural
Effusion
I had hardly any pain at all, so was taking nothing in the way of painkillers. What is/was your level of tummy pain post-surgery, and what advice can you offer. I have a square heated blanket that helps.

Post Perfusion Syndrome (Pumphead)
Just a though as to if anyone can help me. I had replacement aortic valve and bypass January 2016. I am a 68 year old man. I had Atrial fibrillation until November 2016 when I had a cardioversion which put me back into sinus rhythm, which I am still in. I have had various recent checks on my heart

Muscle Relaxer?
I have PD and am currently taking Azilect, Ropinerole, and Carbidopa/levidopa. I am very active, but lifted a heavy object yesterday and have painful muscle spasms in my lower back. Can I take a muscle relaxer - Carisoprodol - which is leftover from a spinal fusion I had before going on PD meds?

Intro- First time post
I feel foggy. Like I'm drunk, or hungover, or on cold medicine. Headaches, lightheadedness, fatigue. This is my 13th year of this, and I have been worked up for EVERYTHING!!! I've seen MD's and Naturopathic physicians. For a while I thought I had an autoimmune "sticky blood" issue, but top LA rheumy

Pleural Effusion and terrified of chest drain
I was admitted to the hospital with a large
pleural
effusion
a few days ago and told I needed a chest drain which could take a couple of days as there's around 2 litres of fluid on my lungs. I suffer badly with anxiety (the biggest wimp!) and immediately had a panic attack.
