Testical swelling
I had inguinal hearnia surgery august of last year, since then, my right testicle became twice the size of normal, hard and painfull. Doctors are unsure as to what it is. I was sent for an ultrasound which came back as no swelling and was referred to the urologist. The pain went down. Almost a year on

Post Lap No Endo found
Hi everyone, I had my laparoscopy to look for endometriosis on the 5th October. When I woke up, I asked if they found anything and they said no endometriosis was found. I could NOT stop crying all day as I was 100% sure I had it since I have every single symptom plus a family history (literally my mum

Pain while taking blood pressure – is it thyroid related?
Hello – this may sound like an odd question, but please humour me! 🙂 About six months ago there were concerns about my blood pressure being consistently high, so I was prescribed Ramipril. A couple of months ago, I developed a fairly persistent cough and vertigo/dizziness, and felt bad enough to call

Advice sought on management
Hello, I am writing for some advice on managing ovarian cyst pain and PCOS. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2016 and had a laparoscopy in 2019 where nothing was found. I was still experiencing frequent need to urinate, abdominal pressure, irregular frequent bleeding, mood swings, back ache, pain and headaches

Roflumilast/Daxas
Dear all, I just wanted to let all of you with severe COPD that I was given the opportunity last year, March 2022 to start this medication, Roflimilast. I had to request the outpatient appointment to be able to bring the possibility of being prescribed it. HealthUnlocked It wasn’t even mentioned to me

May be doing IV chemo for the first time. Need tips - really freaked out!
Hi, so I’ve successfully avoided doing IV chemo since 2019. But due to bone mets I just had hip surgery and the pills I’ve been on are not working. I was told by the surgeon 2 days ago that I need systemic treatment asap or I’ll die. I’m having a petscan tomorrow and depending on how it looks, I’ll

Recap and update
hi, Well today I had my scan results. Just to recap, I’m stage 4 snd IDS was not attempted due to significant disease remaining in mesentry. I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo now and was hoping to have debulking at this stage. However my MDT, having looked at scan have said no. I was still responding to treatment

Discharged at last!
At last I was discharged from hospital on Friday after 3 weeks . And now the stress begins. I called my GP surgery this morning to make a GP appointment. As usual my request is met with resistance. It seems my surgery does not accept advanced bookings to see the GP. I'll have to make and E consult.

You are all babies so far that I have read. My tumor was removed by surgery AN and they called it a schwannoma. But who knew from what I was told I don't think they knew much. It was taken in 1990, a large bugger that left me deaf, palsied, tinnitus, open eyed, and short of balance., Neeedless

Add back hrt with Zoladex
Hi all, just after a bit of support/others’ experiences… I had my 3rd Zoladex last week and over the last 2 weeks menopause symptoms (muscle/joint ache, severe fatigue, palpitations etc) have kicked me hard. Previously prescribed Tibolone but massive headaches middle of the night so I tried to persevere

Scared. Mind is racing. Mom needs heart surgery.
I've posted before kind of on this topic but since I've become more agoraphobic and neurotic and shut down and hiding in my house. My mom needs heart surgery. She is my best friend. She is 82. I am 47. I don't have a partner or kids. I have a brother. He helps sometimes but he isn't completely emotionally
