Neuropathy and Osteoarthritis
Hello All, I am writing on behalf of my 89 year old mom who has been struggling with severe leg and back pain. Mom had Guillaune Barre Syndrome in 2009 resulting from the flu vaccine and both knee replacements prior to that. She is diabetic and otherwise cognitively fine. Her pain causes her syncope

hi all, I had knee replacement surgery on June 18 and when I came home I was on pain meds so I stopped taking my klonipin. I was on .25 of Klonipin 3 x a day. My anxiety level was pretty low so I had not taken Klonipin for a week. I’m off pain meds now and this morning I woke up with quite a bit of

couch to 5k post total hip replacement
hello I am 9 months post hip replacement. I had a dual mobility cup replacement as I am hypermobile. I needed the replacement due to a fall and subsequent deteriorating osteoarthritis. I was told by a private consultant that I’ll never run again but my nhs consultant said I would. I have been a runner

Stuck at 4.5mg
Have been on 4.5 mg since last November. Saw hip surgeon in January who told me to stay on 4.5mg rather than risk a flare before my surgery for hip replacement which took place in March. After my op I was in a lot of pain (from the surgery) with a prolonged recovery so even though my GP told me to try

Question of the Week: Why did you start to run?
A lot of us start C25K having done little or no exercise since we left school. Others used to be active but life intervened - work, children, illness, injury, other responsibilities. Were you advised by your doctor that you needed to get more active. Or did you just take a look at your sedentary lifestyle

Can HRT stop working?
Hi, I had a total hysterectomy June 22 and have been on everol estrogen 100mg patches since and my menopause symptoms were controlled for the most. However, these past few weeks my symptoms have been creeping back starting with sleeplessness, night sweats, brain fog and now my skin is itchy as anything

Need advice everyone. As I battle my own depression I see more and more signs my husband is depressed and suffers from anxiety as well. Important notes: -Middle aged, has horrible knees and may be looking at knee replacement - Knee issues have caused slowing of exercise and weight gain - Very upset

For those people who worry about stopping their anticoagulant for medical procedures in case they have a stroke maybe my experience might reassure them. All drugs have a half life so the amount of time you have to stop before a procedure is calculated taking this into account. For the "bans" it is
