MRI for Endometriosis - MRI machine process
To lightened the mood I said 'unless someone left something inside me during my recent
surgery
...' They neither confirmed nor denied if it could of been this but guess if I do have a lost object something will show on the MRI images when I visit my consultant in a couple of weeks.

Warfarin to Edoxaban
This due to my GP
surgery
merger with a bigger practice. Warfarin was my only option in 2013 before these new drugs became available. I'm told it's safer and no INR blood tests. I'd like to know if I still need to avoid the same food when on Warfarin e.g cranberries, grapefruit etc.

Inflammation
I had hand
surgery
last month, and the recovery has been long and painful. Because I don't tolerate strong opioids l, I had declined the Oxycodone prescription that was offered me. Since I take Codeine-Tylenol for RLS, I naively thought that that would be sufficient for my post-op pain.

Indeterminate liver lesion
Straight to
surgery
? My liver specialist says I can choose which route I'd like to go but I'm lost. I would love some help and guidance, thank you. I'm just 37 years old very healthy, no symptoms, have 3 kids and I am so worried!

tender breasts?
Things are not even now totally straightforward as about 55 years ago I had breast reduction
surgery
so the duct system was interfered with so my breast tissue is a bit lumpy generally but I cannot feel any specific lump.

endometriosis and ivf
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis stage 4 in 2021 and had
surgery
at this point. I don’t have adenomyosis but the endo is extensive. We tried to conceive naturally for 6 months after
surgery
which didn’t work. We then had our first round of IVF where we were unsuccessful.

impossible decision to make
Research states there is a high percentage of co- morbidity and mortality in the
surgery
. I don’t know how to make such an impossible decision and live with the outcomes/implications. Have any of you found alternative ways to manage strictures and bleeding with major
surgery
? Thanks!

Constant uncomfortable feeling
I'm having an ultrasound as last
surgery
, they found endo on my bowel. I can't keep relying on a tens machine or heat pack. Is anyone experiencing anything similar? I've always said I won't be beaten by this but it's affected work now.

Long term Effects of radiation
I had salvage radiation in 2014 after failed RP
surgery
in 2013 at age 69 for Gleason 9 PCa. I’ve also had radiation of pelvic lymph nodes in 2015 , right femur in 2017, and a rib and clavicle in 2018. A few years ago incontinence developed. I tried clamp, sling and AUS.

Ribs aching
The consultant hasn’t contacted me but he wrote to my
surgery
asking them to adjust my Isosorbide level. Using the FOI act I obtained a copy of the letter. It says that there is a ‘subtle inducable ischemia in the base and walls of the left ventricle’.

SOS From Across The Pond
My objective is to be able to have a specialized spine orthopedic or neuro surgeon perform corrective
surgery
on my now deformed/kyphotic thoracic. No surgeon I’ve consulted with will touch me due to my bone fragility.

Dosage reduction
I had some blood tests done at a new GP
surgery
. I only wanted cholesterol done. However, they did a TSH which came up as 0.22, the same as it was when I saw private endocrinologist in April and he was fine with that.

Simvastatin v Atorvastatin
Just had a conversation with my
Surgery
employed Pharmacist. she asked me if I would object to switching from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin as the Simvastatin was rather an old drug. I was put on it around 2007. I told her to go ahead ... no problems.
