ESA stopped help, can they make me have a wheelchair!?
Hi , I have been denied ESA as they gave me 0 points on being able to mobilise more than 200 meters because the decision maker has decide that a wheelchair could be obtained through the nhs wheelchair service if required and the use of a wheelchair would enable me to mobilise more than 200 meters.

Double vision after tbi
Hey! I'm 22years old and I was involved in a car accident 2 months ago and suffered many injuries. The injury I am most concerned about is the Subarachnoid hemorrhage. I have been discharged from hospital (after being kept in for 10 days) but have had double vision since the accident. If I shut either

So surgery...
It seems that after about 4 years I'll need to fuse my ankle. Unfortunately the subtler joint fusion I received in August didn't fuse all the way and the infection I got in November and second surgery in December to remove the screws didn't help. I recently just got a steroid shot (again) and of course

Numb and burning feet
Hi Everyone I had spinal surgery 7 years ago. All went well. Recently however I am experiencing numbness and burning in my right foot which at times has me in tears. I am finding it increasingly difficult to wear heels or wedges and for me trainers are for training!! I am fit and healthy and not diabetic

RA Ankle Fusion
Hey all, So I've been dealing with RA for four years now, I'm currently 20, and I recently had a subtalor joint fusion in my right ankle. Unfortunately my hardware in my ankle got infected and they took it out. We're unsure if there was a nonfusion. The fusion doesn't seem to be working though, the past

Kallyfudging the great Manchester parkrun south Manchester
Got to parkrun today, managed to wakeup early enough to eat something, peanut butter on toast. Also ate well yesterday in preparation. Was hoping to knock about 30 seconds off my PB. Managed to pace myself better at the start, was also listening to very over-the-top music from a game I've just started

Adrenal insufficency
(I haveGSA and PMR. ) I have made it through shingles,
spinal
fusion
and laminectomy surgery as well as two cataract operations. Just recently did I find on your forum the information that not all the prednisone we take...those mgs that are so carefully measured each day are actually absorbed.

Thoughts on CRPS compensation
So I've had negligence upon negligence and then some more...! I originally fell down the stairs and broke my leg in 3 places. They put 6 screws in my leg. One was in the wrong place (but could be argued with that it was acceptable) the other was slightly too long - confirmed by CT scan, and needed replacing

Pain is my friend lol
Hi. I'm sure practically everyone on this site is suffering physically or emotionally. Or both lol. I'm hoping that this is my last spinal surgery in the lower back. I can't complain I've played competitive sports until I hit 49. So as soon as my back started when I was around 50. I was deeply concerned

Spinal Cord Stimulation for PD Pain
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with electrical spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of pain related to PD. Meds have become ineffective and the pain disabling many days. I already have had dbs surgery so I figure at least I could keep some appliances running during a power outage

PD and spinal cord stimulation
My husband has PD and arthritis with degenerative disk disease. He is currently doing a trial for a spinal cord stimulator. It is called Stimwave device. It seems to be helping with back pain. Has anyone had this procedure done?
