Sternum Non-Union worries
HI everyone. 3 weeks ago I had my sternum rewired as it was clicking and clearly not joining after my CABG x3. The surgeon said the wires had pulled through my soft bones so he used a cable tie system for the second attempt. Whilst I realise it is early days, I do still feel some popping and clicking

Help with Private Test Results
Hi everyone, I finally bit the bullet and paid for some private testing after the Lab kept refusing to do anything requested by my GP aside from TSH. I've just had my results back and was hoping someone knowledgeable on here might be able to confirm/contradict the comments made by the private GP? Results

The latest informative post from Dr Kendrick, a must read for all What causes heart disease part XXXVI (part thirty-six) by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick 5th September 2017 Wipe your mind clear of all previous ideas about CVD.

Not so bad.....
Pleased to report that mammogram was bearable, in fact a lot less painful than when last taken, barely 2 years post CABG. Thence to GP. Heart rate better, but alas, BP still on the high side. I'm to return to see doctor for a medication review....treated myself to home made soup for lunch in local café

More news... you couldn't make this up
So the recovery continues slowly and not as well as I'd hoped but I do believe my existing issues from the Ciprofloxacin adverse reaction are making it worse. Then a week ago I went to the GP because I'd found a lump in the left side of my chest. Of course I was a little anxious and after the GP examined

to relieve scar

Spinal Fusion
Hello I'm about to have a spinal fusion and was wondering if any other sclerry peeps have had the same and if your sclerry kicked off afterwards. I'm having a bone graft from my left hip and am worried it may weaken it as its the first of three. 😟

My most annoying post CABG issue is problems with ectopic beats/PVCs etc.. I get them everyday and not little ones you hardly notice, they are frequent and quite distracting. Sure I have soreness still in my chest which I expected since I had a double mammary artery bypass but these premature and missed

Been a bit tied up with more issues!

I was already recovering from muscle and tendon problems after reacting badly to Ciprofloxacin 2 years ago

Bathing
My husband is 25 days post CABG, however since returning home has been strip washing daily for fear of getting in the bath (we don't have a shower).

Coronary artery bypass

Coronary artery bypass
Hi everybody, I am listed for a coronary bypass after an angiogram which showed three diseased vessels. Is bypass the right option and whats the benefit risks ratio? I have had stens inserted before in 2010.
