Need advice about fistula please
Hello! I had my first surgery for a fistula yesterday. Surgeon connected my brachial artery to my basilic vein at the elbow. I had a nerve block in my arm that they told me would last for 18 to 24 hours and it was already starting to wear off while I was in recovery. A few hours later and it was

Will it, won’t it?
My AFib occurs roughly every 3-5 weeks and ranging from 12-30 hrs. I am going into hospital next Friday 26th for surgery under an GA and have to take my last apixaban Tuesday evening. Pre op said it was unlikely surgery would go ahead if I was in Afib. I’ve been waiting a year for surgery so I obviously

Worried- pressure at 5 at trabeculectomy follow up today
Has anyone had to deal with low pressure after trabeculecyomy? I had the fourth of my weekly post- trabeculectomy follow ups today. The pressure was 5. Before the operation the pressure was consistently around 15. Week one after surgery it was 15, week two, 17 ( then stitch removed) Week 3 was 20. Stitch

Filling the syringe
I did my first 8 subcutaneous b12 injections as I was shown by the doctor. Since then the nurse at my g.p. surgery has been doing my injections every 2 weeks as prescribed. (She offered me the choice of continuing to do it myself or she would do it.)The consultant had told me if I wanted to give myself

Struggling after surgery & with political climate
I had surgery on my legs a little over a week ago and have been recovering at home since. I've gotten really depressed and am having anxiety, especially after watching the political news and reading about everyone's worst fears on social media regarding the outcome of the US election. I can now walk

I’ve been following your excellent supportive site since a minor heart issue 5 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with an enlarged right ventricle and atelactasis in base of 2 lobes and referred for an echocardiogram, the result of which I now have. No significant abnormalities….which I’m grateful for.

ET and Successful Hip Replacement
Hello friends, I posted some months ago about needing hip replacement for arthritis, and I appreciate the many replies I received. I am 5 weeks out from my surgery and doing great. I was able to have the surgery where I see my MPN specialist. I was nervous, given this was my first surgery since diagnosis

I've been told I am 'too young' for surgery/diagnosis.

My 'periods' can last over 60 days (continuously bleeding) and I bleed a lot in between periods to the

Feeling doomed today
Please can I ask for you thoughts and opinions, I understand it’s not medical advice and I’m speaking to Rheumatology but I need real like experience that only others on here have really. I came off Baracitinib in Jan because not really effective and affecting my lipids adversely. Then onto Tocilizumab
