Feel like screaming!
Coming up 4yrs ago I had a spinal fusion L5 S1 for degenerative spondylolsisthesis. I was told up to 2 yrs recovery, after this time I was by all means any better,but actually worse than before the op. After months of 2nd opinions, MRI scans,xrays etc I was sent to see a rheumatologist, where I was diagnosed

Time for Change... :)
Hello, I'm a newbie but have been registered for a little while now, reading members posts via the app. I've put weight on over the years and I'm now at my heaviest and I hate it. The reason why - a bad back for many years culminating in spinal surgery last Christmas. I've got a fantastic physio

Serevent Confusion
I was prescribed "Serevent" (Salmeterol) to replace the maintreatment of "Tiotrupium" (Spiriva). The dose prescribed was 1 dose daily. It wasn't helping so I switched back to Tiotrupium, however closely reading the GSK Instructions for Salmeterol it clearly states "the normal starting dose is 2 puffs

Military member seeking spinal health advice.
Spinal fusion complications post op that required operation 10ish days later. IM still having issues and starting my medical board out of the navy. I know I still have a lot of issues to deal with and I know my body tends to get worse with stress. Do you know of any stress lowering techniques or advice

Spinal Fusion
Hello I'm about to have a spinal fusion and was wondering if any other sclerry peeps have had the same and if your sclerry kicked off afterwards. I'm having a bone graft from my left hip and am worried it may weaken it as its the first of three. 😟

Should I go to the physio for knee pain?
I finished couch to 5k in May and was averaging about 3.5K per run, but I had about a month's break after finishing the programme. Over these past 2 weeks I've started to run again, and managed to hit 4.3K last week. I've had knee pain for years and it definitely holds me back when I'm running. I get

Spinal fusion L5-S1 for spondylolisthesis, pain worsening
Hi there, I had spinal fusion with instrumentation in Feb 2015 for grade 2 spondylolisthesis as all other avenues had been explored but to no avail. After a lengthy recovery things started to improve but then slowly worsened. Scans showed that excess bone had grown trapping a sciatic nerve which accounted

Passive smoking
There has been a lot of discussion on here regarding nicotine etc. I just wanted to say that I am a big believer of 'each to their own'. However, people who smoke cigarettes, and e-cigarettes, rarely keep their smoke to themselves. As a life long NON-smoker with COPD, it does annoy me when people

Feeling Guilty
My Husband was diagnosed with Picks Disease 9 months ago. I am still working full time and feel so guilty about it. I blame me for him talking to himself due to him being on his own. I cant afford to stop working due to husband not working for years due to lots of other health issues. Crohns Disease.

What to do next to get better ?
Having posted on here earlier this year, and having received excellent advice about my Levothyroxine dosage and optimising my vitamins and minerals levels, I need your help again.

Is exercise always beneficial??
Hello there. After a lazy holiday away and a few housebound rainy days lately, I have come to the startling conclusion that my brisk daily dog walks (2 x 1 hours) are actually making my chest very much worse. My diagnosis is Lupus/UCTD with resp muscle weakness & small Airways Disease. I'm 50, slim
