Zytiga and Xtandi .... what do you think about this?
Diagnosed in ‘2008 at the age of 50. Because it was in his lymph node, he went with Casodex (30 days), Lupron (2 years) and radiation (40 external beam). In ‘2012 he did Taxotere when his PSA had a one month doubling rate. Planned to do 6 months, but was stopped at four months with heavy side effects

Re: Itching and skin pain
Can you tell me whether itching and skin pain could be connected to lupus? I have had severe problems following spinal surgery and in the end they removed my metalwork thinking I was reacting to this. I also had huge amounts of pain in my back. I suffered terribly for two years where my skin was sore

MTP big toe joint fusion
I'd love to hear from anyone who's had this operation and whether they successfully returned to running. I had the op done last week and now recuperating wondering if I'll ever be able to run again 🏃🏻

The Walton Centre for Neurology and Neurosurgery
Hi all I am on a waiting list for spinal surgery at the Walton Centre in Liverpool and was wondering if anyone has had surgery/treatment there? This is a revision procedure but I had my first operation at a different hospital, therefore would be grateful if anyone would be willing to share their experience

home oxygen hose tangle
When I was first put on home oxygen three years ago, it was terrible. Everyone kept tripping over it and pulling my ears when they did. I swore I wasn’t going to have ears left. My husband is not the easiest going person and he complained constantly. I didn’t know what to do. My husband put the

Osteopathic treatment
I had a
spinal
fusion
6 years ago, successful at first, then 18 months later symptoms increased again. I've had all the usual Nhs treatment including caudal epidurals. I'm currently trying to reduce my meds which is great because the side effects have been awful.

Upcoming surgery
I have a compression fracture of the L5 vertebrae in my lower back...along with severe
spinal
stenosis. So the Dr needs to do a decompression and
fusion
of the L3, L4, L5 & S1 levels. I am looking at a 3 month recovery period, at least. He is aware of my past history with APS.

Compression Fracture of L1 vertebrae and chronic back pain
I've done everything but a
spinal
fusion
which I've had 4 opinions from different surgeons saying they advise against it as I may end up worse. I have done everything from Rehab, hydro pool, Physio, injections, ketamine infusions, 4 spinal cord stimulator trials - the list goes on.

Boron for micrographia and any other Parkinson's symptoms
Later this week I will start taking boron and watching for improvement. I will update by Post the outcome of this test. "The compound also functions to improve a variety of cognitive skills including visual perception, concentration, short term memory, coordination, fine motor skills and logic."

Agonising Upper Back Pain
I have had a
Spinal
Fusion
in the past, so of course I am worried about this. I think I need an xray, but my GP is really digging his heels in. He has also refused to send me for a Dexa Scan. What are your opinions please.
