Post surgical exacerbation of RLS
Just an update to my previous posts about post surgical pain. I am almost 3 weeks post op after total hip replacement. I had asked about pain relief. Anyway, the pain has lessened although it was excruciating for 2 + weeks. My question is what can I do about the increase in my RLS? Since the surgery

Coming off of medication?
Hello, My husband (age 46) had a heart attack in December and had a stent fitted in his LAD artery. The surgery went well, all other arteries were clear, he attended the rehab programme and was coping well and was discharged. He’s on quite a lot of medication - aspirin, beta blockers, statins and ACE

high TSH and high T4
hi, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on this one. I’ve recently had two blood tests, one on 11th April with a TSH of 8 (abnormal) but T4 of 22 (so still just normal but top of the range). Then another blood test 28th June also with higher TSH of 11 and T4 high but normal at 21. I’ve had Hashimotos

Difficulty in getting bone scan results
Hi there I had a bone scan in October last year and after months of chasing finally got a call from my GP surgery on 7 June to inform me they had my results, that I have osteoporosis and need to go on alendronic acid. I have been checking my NHS app for the actual results but they've not been added

Ideas please
I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago for a massive goitre. I had been taking levothyroxine for 20 years prior to the surgery. The idea being that giving me the meds would stop the goitre growing but it didn't work. My levels have fluctuated over the years but I have never had any symptoms - until

Tingling hands, arm and leg occurrence at 5 mg slow tapering, in my 3rd year since PMR diagnosis.
Has anyone had this experience please?I'm familiar with tingling in my left hand since carpal tunnel surgery some years ago, so when this started in my right hand, I gave it little attention. However the tingling started in my left arm and left leg only yesterday and there is a slight feeling of numbness

Surgery Cancelled .. because I look to fit and well!
I had to post this due to how utterly ridiculous my day was yesterday. After 2 years of scans and appointments and 6 months of prostap. My doctor cancelled my surgery to remove endo and adhesions and also confirm the 6cm growth on my uterus is not suspicious because .. I quote .. you look fit and well

hospital bag
I know this has probably been done to death but what are people’s go tos for their hospital bag when they go in for surgery? I have surgery on the 13th and have been told I will be staying in for 3-5 days so just trying to plan and pack. I wondered what everyone else took with them or what they wished

Recurring symptoms, bit panicky
I've already posted once when I was first diagnosed with GCA and got loads of good advice, info, reassurance. So grateful. The problem now is that after 12 days on Prednisolone 50mg the headaches started to come back and jaw pain. I wrote in my previous post that an on call doctor came out on the Saturday

Update on Trelegy v Fostair
A few weeks ago I had a bad fall and required a CT scan of my chest. It picked up a few things that are being followed up and one of them required me to attend an appointment with my Resp Consultant at 9.00 am this morning! I hoped he would also have time to discuss the issue I've had re the asthma

Between treatment pain
this is a bit of a long one (sorry in advance) I was diagnosed last year through private care that I got with my work at the time. I was told that I was at high risk of ending up with a colostomy bag if I went for surgery, so they pushed for ‘medical management’. My first gynae had already put me on

radiation treatments led to perforated colon?
St. Patrick’s Day I collapsed in pain and was rushed to ER. A CT ABD PE revealed a perforated colon near my rectum, broad internal infection (sepsis) with kidneys and liver shutting down. A life flight, three surgeries later, 3 weeks sedated and immobile in an ICU, and seven weeks in hospital rehabs

Shoes wider ?
Like my hands, my toes are now badly deformed and I'm struggling to get even wide shoes on. Can anyone advise where to get nice looking shoes for arthritis feet ? I really don't want surgery if I can avoid it.
