Newby question
In 2016 I broke my right knee and needed emergency
surgery
to put in pins. In 2022 I broke my left knee and needed emergency
surgery
to put in a large plate and bolts. I was then diagnosed with osteoporosis (at the age of 54). I have been on alendronic acid tablets since May 2023.

Preserflo Microshunt failed twice
In April it broke in my eye and I had
surgery
to reposition it. This week it broke again and I have just had
surgery
to remove it. I have stitches to repair the puncture. I’m not sure I fully understand the reason why this happened but I believe it’s because I have a thin cornea.

Malignant Glaucoma

surgery
". After two laser treatments I had cataract
surgery
. The following day my pressure in the right eye went to 60. Later that day I lost the sight in my right eye. The macular hole
surgery
took place on 6th February.

Leftover laxatives, peppermint oil capsules and compression stockings
My
surgery
was 10 weeks ago so the capsules are very much still in date. Just asking for postage to be covered.

on in January 2022 for a torn meniscus) has now packed in so to speak.. I saw a Nurse Practitioner who was extremely helpful at my
surgery
yesterday.

Struggling after surgery
Any tips on post-operative recovery after major
surgery
, apart from the obvious-yet-impossible task of being nice to myself?!

cataract surgery and istent
I’m having my second cataract op soon. An instant was offered to be done at the same time but I’ve declined this as it didn’t go well in my other eye. I was recently measured for my new lens but they didn’t do an eye test to see what prescription the new lens needs to be. I don’t recall if they did

Decioher .93 - results said Abiraterone was effective. Can people who use this enlighten me?
Husbands urology practice does
surgery
, radiation, ADT but does not list Abiraterone. Their website says they will refer us out if needing chemo. Thoughts?

Insurance
I have been discharged from treatment and contacted my insurance company and they want my Doctors
surgery
to add a note to my medical records stating I am fit to travel(fly) abroad. The
surgery
won't do so as the doctor states he is not qualified to make the decision

Advice/Help
I'm due to go in for a Laparoscopy next week, I've had heart
surgery
in the past but, I'm really nervous about this
surgery
due to complications in the previous surgeries. So I'm just trying to calm my nerves by being as prepared as much as possible.

PSA undetectable
After
surgery
PSA should be undetectable. What does it mean. Once the lab give 0.03, once 0.04. I guess it s the lab (standard error of the machine), but what is the limit of the lab and when should i consider that THERE IS a PSA. Why is PSA still detectable after
surgery
should nt it be 0.00 ?
