second valve replacement
I had an aortic root and valve replaced in 2017 (mechanical valve) after combination of poor valve function and swelling aorta. This problem was found during a transasophogeal echo in advance of an ablation to tackle bouts of disabling AF that were only ever resolved by electrocardioversion. In the last

chronic pain
I’ve been suffering from longtime, unrelenting chronic pain for more than 30 years. The pain levels have become intolerable. No intervention or painkillers work. I have had major shoulder surgery two months ago which wasn’t a success. I now face having a total shoulder replacement. The pain is excruciating

After surgery
Hi Found this today on what could explain continuous pain after Endo surgery, it was on a research site. Makes for interesting reading but hope they are wrong The relationship between deep fibrotic endometriosis of the rectum and digestive symptoms as well as the impact of surgical treatment on digestive

Hi, cortisol blood test advice please
I've finally got my appointment for a cortisol blood test(other blood tests but not sure what) in a couple of weeks. Should I be wary of taking supplements? still take levothyroxine at 6am(blood test 9am) no information given & I had to chase up🤦 so any information I'll be interested. Endo I believe

Had my surgery - query!
Hi all, Finally had my surgery & they found so much more endometriosis than any scan found. It feels very validating. They also confirmed I had adenomyosis, which I knew. However, the surgeon came to speak to me in recovery (I was still very much not with it). So I don't remember much of anything

Does anyone know how long surgery is from your MDT meeting?
Hi warriors, I've just had my results from my MDT meeting. I've got to have a consent/discussion consultation and another with a bowel consultation incase I need a stoma. My question is, does anyone have a time scale of when they got surgery after the MDT meeting. I'm under Cambridge team. Thankyou

Adhesions and eating
Hi I had a recent laposcopy to remove a large abcess on my left ovary from a previous episode of PID caused by a bust abcess. When they got in there they found extensive adhesions and inflammation in my fallopian tube and pelvis area along with more adhesions. I am recovering well and feel stringer everyday

Anxiety following acute health issue
I had emergency surgery to clear out a septic joint and ended up hospitalized for weeks. The pain was almost unbearable. Ever since the trauma, I have been bothered by "what if?" anxiety. What if my partner dies? What if I get another painful health issue? That kind of thing. I've used some calming music

AUS revision surgery?
I'm seeking advice on having a second AUS surgery. My background: I had a prostatectomy in 2016 and radiation a year later because the cancerous tumor had penetrated the sack. I have since had undetected PSA but have suffered with severe stress incontinence. I had AUS surgery in 2018 but it failed because

Pregnancy with Endo
Hiya I'm just wondering has anyone fell pregnant with endo or after the laprscopy surgery. I have fallen pregnant 8 months after surgery they state I'm high risk due to scar tissue etc as I was at stage 3. And I have a lot of pain around the scar area and pelvic area. Has anyone else had this??
