Foot/mouth hand or something else??
Does anyone know what this is. It started with red burning spots then turned into patches. Then I had chicken like pox all over my body and face. Hands rashes are similar to feet. But my thumbs are going white too and thin skin. Anyone know what's happening. I'm very stressed. Doctors are not helping

How were you 8 months Post-Op?
Happy New Year everyone! I’ve posted on here quite a bit, and have appreciated all the support I’ve been getting. I had my lap in May of 2023. Since then, I’ve started pelvic floor therapy. For the last 4 weeks, I’ve done bladder installations weekly. So installations one day then therapy the next.

PSA Rising
Had surgery in November 2021. Gleason 4+3...Post surgery PSA was 0.01. Positive margin (1 millimetre). PSA has risen from 0.1 to 0.06 in 24 months. Doctor says I should do nothing. Until it hits 0.2. Next test is June 2024. Any advice will be appreciated.

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the

Which option for surgery
My dad has been waiting for open heart surgery for a valve replacement for 2 years. He is now faced with a second option, TAVI, rather than open heart. Does anyone have any experience or helpful advice? We are researching for him so that he can make an informed decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Referral policy
Hi everyone! I am wondering if you are able to share your experience with referrals, etc. I mentioned previously that I am on an 80-week waiting list to see an Endo specialist (NHS). I guess it will be another 80 weeks to have laparoscopy. Basically, over three years of pain and worry..I am considering

💤 sleep
I've always been a good sleeper but following the stroke triggered by brain aneurysm surgery. I've been regularly finding myself waking at 1-2am thinking it's the morning and time to get up. I'm living in a rehab unit so there are always staff around to reorientate me to the time but it's an annoying

PSA Rising
Asking for a friend of my father this time. He had surgery in december 2022 and everything was removed including glands. Gleason 4+5. His PSA has risen från 0.1 to 0.14 in 12 months. His doctor says to do nothing until it hits 0.2. But shouldn’t he do more? Maybe he doesn’t have advanced cancer yet.

Open heart surgery
I had my first meeting with the surgical team at Papworth yesterday . I’m now pencilled in for an aortic valve replacement in June. We discussed my AF , the effects of surgery on episodes after and anticoagulants . Interestingly they stated that oral anticoagulants reduce the risk of stroke by 60/70%

Maternity clothes?
I'm having my next lap next Saturday, and was thinking about what loose clothes I have to wear post surgery. I don't really like loose clothes, but I have so much bloating with my endo / adeno that I am forever walking round at home with my jeans unbuttoned as it's so painful. It just occurred to me

Surgery in 3 weeks. Any post op tips?
I finally have a surgery date after first being referred to gynae August 2022. I had an MRI between this time which confirmed endometriosis so hoping this surgery will help with pain 🤞 Any tips post op? How long did people have off after it? I’m guessing it depends what they actually find when they

Bra tips
Hi, I would like some help. I had some very comfortable supporting bras bought from my heart surgery.Alas these haven't offered much support at all after my breast procedure and became too tight. I had underestimated how big my boob would swell after surgery, the haematoma and seroma didn't help Ideas

cataract Surgery
I needed eye surgery to remove cataracts from both eyes, my first eye surgery was in April 2022, I then had to wait for clear vision in eye after surgery before the cataract in my second eye was removed. After both eyes regained clear vision, you need to have an eye test, and possibly get new spectacles
