hip pains returning post THR
I had my THR last Friday, and was discharged on Sunday. I am taking full dose paracetamol and ibuprofen, but no codeine as I react badly. On the recommendation of the rheumy I have upped my pred from 6.5mg to 10mg, then will reduce on Monday to 7.5mg for a week before returning back to 6.5mg. However

Vitamin supplements
I currently take evening primrose capsules and vitamin D tablets together late afternoon (primrose includes vitamin E). Is it better to separate these or to take with food? They both have added incipients. Should I be looking for natural vitamins instead? Also, I have purchased some Liposomal vitamin

worried about thyroidectomy
hi everyone, I’m new here’ but not new to thyroid issues unfortunately. I got diagnosed with graves in 2017 after the birth of my first baby. Since then I have had countless relapses, they’ve all been managed with Carbimazole/ptu but as time goes on the time between relapses is getting way shorter and

Myelofibrosis and bone pain
how do people manage bone pain with Myelofibrosis. I used to get a dull ache in my shin bone only at night occasionally but now it is just about daily and is impacting on my ability to sleep. I bought CBD oil but it is not really helping and paracetamol doesn’t work at all. I don’t want to get into

So the Doc was still scrambling around not to prescribe an ipoid. And the Mayo did suggest tramadol or codeine. So l accepted another trial of a long acting Tramadol 50 mgs x 2.. Start today. Meanwhile have a prescription for zopilcone which really knocks me out. Also l think lowers my mood. Feel very
