Get Your Cataracts Treated!
Age-Related Macular Degeneration sufferers experience a gradual deterioration in their sight due to changes in the macular. Most sufferers are, of a certain age! Another common age-related eye condition is the development of a cataract, so it is not unusual to suffer from both conditions simultaneously

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone

L4-L5 L5-S1 surgery
It looks like I will soon be offered the above surgery as soon my BMI drops below 30. I cannot tell you how worried I am not only about undergoing 6 hours surgery. But post surgery implications e.g. not allowed to bend down or not do housework for months coming out of my high mattress bed and after

Rising PSA with little shown on PSMA PET
Greetings all. I've been on this forum for years. I've only commented a handful of times, and never made a post. I prefer to usually just read from the sidelines. First of all, a bit about my path thus far. I was diagnosed in May 2010 (age 49) (PSA 4.7 and Gleason 7), had radical surgery in July 2010

Bereavement and NHS Records
Hi Everyone, I am new to this group but not new to healthunlocked. My younger brother passed away aged 59 at the beginning of April. I have spent the last month dealing with everything, from discovering his passing to organising his funeral since my other siblings live abroad. Our mother is in her

Carbimazole and cramps
Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I posted. I've been extremely busy with my disabled mother, followed by the death of my younger brother. I have had to suffer in silence due to having so much to deal with. Thankfully, I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I opted for staying on carbimazole

ET / Osteonecrosis / Surgery
Hello Has anyone else with ET experienced problems with insufficient blood circulation causing osteonecrosis? If surgery is inevitable, what extra cautionary measures should ET patients take?

Does this look like lupus rash?
Hi everyone. I started with a flat purple rash last Tuesday. It’s spread across my stomach and down the front of my thighs. Then a more sporadic raised rash started on shoulders, back, and then my hands and arms on Friday evening. The first marks on upper body looked like I’d scratched the skin. Yesterday

Electrolyte advice please.
l have paroxysmal AF and recently been getting more episodes. I recently had a blood test, via my GP, to determine the function of my heart. I had my results come through, to my NHS app., late on 24th May, the start of the bank holiday weekend, so have been unable to speak to anyone at my surgery.

Suffering post surgery
I just recently had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery, as chronic colds and poor sleep, had led to or been comorbid with brain fog and depression. I was cautiously hopeful that the surgery would be a game changer, and I am still hopeful, but I am so incredibly miserable. I ended up back in

The role of PSMA PET/CT in predicting downgrading in patients with Gleason score 4+4 prostate cancer in prostate biopsy - W Jour Uro 5/21/24
[i]An interesting investigation aimed at validating the use of PSMA PET/CT in patients to adjust the Gleason score (downward) of their cancer based on conventional pre-surgery biopsy, scans (ultrasound & MRI). In this instance the focus was on downgrading from a high-risk of 8 to an intermediate-risk

My diagnosis after 6 years, Lymphoma EMZL, AL Amyloidosis and Myeloma
Hi everyone, It's been some time since I updated my situation after having been told my Lung nodules had grown. I had a lung wedge resection last year July after a biopsy which was terrible. I had infections a couple of times after the surgery. That is when I received the devastating news about my diagnosis
