NDT- willing to try anything right now!
In the end they gave me a ct scan and decided that the pressure in my brain had built up and gotten too high and gave me a
spinal
tap
, 4 days later, I got most of my sight back. I had to wear an eye patch to allow my eye to heal but at least I was able to get married on the Saturday!

Hi All, Has anyone suffered an overwhelming increase in back pain following a spinal fusion? I had mine 10 years ago now and although not 100%....had been doing alright in my retirement. I had been a nurse for 40 years and although I tried couldn’t return to work comfortably, so decided to take early

Ecmo and icu
Hello, my partner was admitted to A&E a week ago and put on a ventilator with severe pneumonia. Nothing helped until medical staff flew down from London to put him on ecmo and transferred him to London. He hasn't woken up after they stopped sedative 4 days ago, but he has eye movement, breathes alongside

Negative O bands, elevated CSF protein
Doctor did a
spinal
tap
looking for O bands. I was negative for O bands but had slightly elevated CSF protein. Did any of you have elevated CSF protein without O bands?

Pain clinic fail.....😖 (long rant sorry)
I had an appointment with the pain clinic consultant last week after being seen by his registrar to get my pain medication sorted out. I’ve had chronic pain since a spontaneous Sacral fracture five years ago. I take Naproxen, Nortriptyline, Co-Codamol and Butrans patches. These had all been prescribed

Bowel endo
Hi, I had a resection in 2016 due to endo that had infiltrated my bowel wall. I had had previous surgery to remove endo. I have been fine since then until the last 6 months. My periods have gone incredibly heavy and pelvic pain is starting to creep in. The issue is I have had bowel problems for 6 months

Privately funded ivf with a donated egg in the UK
We have had a little delay in getting going with our second ivf cycle, due to me having spinal surgery in February. I’m fighting fit and now and had a consultation with our clinic, where they advised we need to use donor eggs to become pregnant. We are on the waiting list for an egg donor. It’s likely

Unexplained Chest Pains/Palpitations
I started having tachycardia 4 years ago. My heart rate would go up into the 170s. I've had several ECGs, blood work, CT Scan of the heart, stress test, holter monitor, Ziopatch and echo. Everything came back normal. I have been put on propranolol, metoprolol, and now Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily since

Lumbar spinal stenosis with PSP?
My husband also was diagnosed with severe lumbar spinal stenosis and it was recommended he have spinal fusion. We are not going to do that at this point. Can't imagine adding that on top of everything else. The rehab would be nearly impossible. Someone else on this site (I can't find the post now) said
