Possible back surgery questions.
Soon I will be seeing a spinal surgeon for my lower back. Have any of you had spinal surgery while on prednisone? If so how much were you on? How long did it take to recover? Thanks My spinal injections are only lasting a few weeks now.

Large complex ovarian cyst
If anyone can give me some advice I'd be very grateful! I was recently diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst measuring 5.5x4x5cm. With an endometrium of 1mm. In the left adnexa there is a multiloculated cyst with thickened septations calcification largest 5mm. Also some small calcifications visible

Not RLS, it was GBS
I’m not trying to freak anyone out, GBS is extremely rare, but if your symptoms match up with any of this, have your neurologist do a
spinal
tap
to test for the protein. It’s very fast-moving, so I doubt anyone that’s been experiencing RLS for a while is in danger.

New here and need input from others with similar problems
Hi, my best doctors tell me spinal surgery will not help my back problems. I have dried out disc and significant osteoarthritis along with some spondolothesis. My treatment to date includes a Nevro spinal stimulator, 200 mg daily of Celebrex, and 50 mg 3x of pregabalin. I am encouraged to take deluxatine

Hi everyone, I'm a night owl I'm afraid! So here I am lying awake as usual worrying about my weight. Is there anyone out there doing the same? I'm thinking of starting a BIG diet next Monday. That is - a very low calorie diet - 800 cals per day. I did do this before and managed to stick to it. I lost

Weight Gain with Ibrance/Fulvestrant
Hi beautiful ladies. For those on Ibrance/Fulvestrant, have you had weight gain and if so, how are you combatting that? With the combo of Ibrance, Fulvestrant, menopause and an underactive thyroid, I feel like I am at the bottom of a hill looking up and it's going to be a really tough climb! I don't

Saw cat scan of lungs for the first time, but not sure how to interpret them.
Yesterday, I saw my chest cat scan for the first time. I was at a consultation with a neurosurgeon regarding a spinal cord stimulator. My rheumatologist told me I had only some minor scarring in the bottom of my lungs when he cut my prednisone from 10 MG to 5 MG, but the cat scan did not look like minor

Please review my blood results
Hi, please review my bloods and advise. My TPA antibodies have increased since my last bloods in March. I am under an endocrinologist who said that there is nothing that can be done to reduce high antibodies. I am due to start IVF in four weeks and I am worried it will fail due to high antibodies.

Greetings
Hello all. I am new to the site. I have been searching for a MBC-specific group to join since our situation is vastly different than many others. I went through my initial Breast Cancer starting in 2012. Stage 3. Chemo, radiation, bilateral mastectomy, reconstruction. All was well until October

Should I push harder for tests to rule out essential thrombocythemia?
I have a complex medical history, mixed connective tissue disease, RA, eosiniophilc esophagitis, hypopituitarism, adrenal insufficiency, exercise anaphylaxis, a bunch of things that are unrelated, some serious, some annoyances. I have extremely high bone density, so have degenerative spinal disease

Pain Management Referral
Hi - I was involved in a car accident a few years back after having spinal surgery for myelopathy and brachialgia, I had private health care at the time so I requested an MRI scan which found a new prolapsed disc and stenosis around the foramen, I was virtually pain free after surgery, but the accident
