I am new here and started hormone therapy
I am 59 years old and had my prostate (PSA) test done in the fall of 2016. It came back at 40, after a biopsy found the Gleason score to be 4 + 3 (7). I had a Prostectomy at the end of May 2017. The surgeon was sure it was contained and that they got all the cancer out. After healing up for 7 weeks

Hi, Newbie here! Enquiring about Predisolne dosage and tapering.
Hello everyone. What an informative forum this is!

I was virtually disabled for 4 months and could hardly move, and awaiting a NHS physio referral which

Medical marijuna
My doctor recommended I start take medical marijuana to help try to recover from my stroke. Does anyone think this is a good idea or has there even been evidence of it working. Little nervous š about this.

Newbie!!
I am 71. Three years ago I started taking Atorvastatin as a precautionary measure, I'm assuming they are doing me some good. I broke my wrist Nov 11th 2016 and was sent for a dexascan. Results showed the onset of osteoporosis so I was prescribed a weekly Alendronic Acid tablet and Adcal-D3, to be taken

Looking for some guidance...
Hi ! Newbie here. Husband was diagnosed back in June and had robotic prostatectomy in mid-September. The procedure was smooth and his recovery has been problem-free, except for the ED and incontinence issues. The incontinence issue has been practically non-existent which has been a very pleasant surprise

I had a

prostatectomy
back in 2014 (Gleason score 8). Everything fine since then and PSA under control (about 0.875). I developed lower back pains in about April and initially sought remedy through various neurosurgeons.
