Flare after TKR update
Just an update - I have taken ibuprofen regularly but no improvement and today I feel incredibly fatigued. I have therefore increased from 6.5mg to 10mg and will stay at this level for at least a week provided it solves the problem. Strangely it seems that everything but the knee hurts! Recovery

Total knee replacement?
I have RA, diagnosed at Christmas 2020. I also have buggered knees - I believe that is the correct medical term - that pre-date the RA diagnosis. At my last (final?) RA consultation the consultant showed me a beautiful X-ray of my knees. Nice bones, absent cartilage. He had previously mentioned knee

Post Total Knee Replacement with RA
Hello I would like to thank everyone that was supportive for my total knee replacement. As someone on this site said It’s a 🐻 bear and they were right. I had lots of nerve pain from when I woke up in recovery to now which is 11 weeks. I have swelling and some pain, mostly nerve, however the knee has

Flare?
Hallo everyone. As some of you know I had a total knee replacement before Christmas and progress since has been well. I am due to see the surgeon again on Friday and hopefully he will clear me for driving. However, I have, over the last week or so, developed aches and pains in the shoulder, arms,

pregnancy after surgery?
hi ladies, I just wanted to know if any of you managed to have babies after surgery for stage 4 endometriosis and with adenomyosis. I’m 36 now and I’m due my surgery in just under 3 weeks time. I’m very nervous about being able to have a baby with my partner. We don’t want to do it straight away

Does tranexamic acid work?
Hi guys. I've had an ablation, and it failed. I had the mirena, and I had 2 rounds of the depo injection and I'm still bleeding so so bad. 2 periods a month now on average, so I'm finally on the list for a hysterectomy. Doctor has now put me on tranexamic acid in the hope that it will help. Last month

Adenomyosis
Back when I had my initial scans ahead of IVF treatment one of the Dr's diagnosed me with adenomyosis. This surprised me as no one had ever spotted this before and I thought you couldn't diagnose it from a transvaginal ultra sound. When I said "Are you sure??" she said "You definitely have adenomyosis

Zoladex and HRT
Spoke to surgeonSo my surgeon rang yesterday and explained why they aborted the hysterectomy on Tuesday. He said my cervix was fused to my bowel and possibly left ovary and my rectum had been pulled down too. He said it looked to be endometriosis that had been there a long, long time and they wouldn't

Looking for TKR advice
Hello everyone. I’m a 55 year old male who has had knee problems for the majority of my life. I think it originated from sports injuries as a schoolboy but I remember twisting it while at work when I was about 17 too. I have a long history of having treatment for knee problems including 2 or 3 arthroscopy

Decisions re possible surgery
Hi I'm 43 with endometriosis and adenmyosis. Initially diagnosed with endo at 29 via laperoscopy. After chatting with the endometriosis nurse it seems these are my options. 1. Stay as I am (mirena coil in situ) and be referred for pain management. 2. Zoladex injections (chemical menopause). 3. Surgery

Advice please
Hi, I am due to have a hysterectomy in October. Ovaries are going too and there's a strong chance of bowel resection due to recto sigmoid endometriosis. If anyone has any advice for recovery or can share their experience I would be grateful. Thank you Aimee

Cervix
I had my second pet scan it shows a mass on my cervix. I had a hysterectomy. 20 years ago. So with the MBC and now this I am a little concerned. Going to a OBGYN go a test. Hopefully maybe scar tissue probably not since it was not there in the first pet scan. Praying. Has anyone else had this issue?

Do I need to stop taking estrogen? Feel as if I'm choosing between mental and physical health.
So I've read a lot now- probably too much. From what I can gather from things (and I am new to this - didnt know I had endometriosis until Tuesday when they aborted my hysterectomy as my bowel is fused to my cervix) estrogen seems to be the driving force behind endometriosis. Is that true? It also seems

Husband passed away and I'm numb
Hi all, so my husband and my rock died from a brain haemorrhage on the 30th August. I am completely numb, I have obviously cried but I don't know, I feel like I should be on my knees crying my heart out or angry at something but I'm just not. I love this man with every fiber of my being and knowing I'll

Surgery waiting list whilst on Zoladex
Hi all! Quick question, just called my surgeons secretary to discuss coming to the end of my current zoladex injections and to chase up the surgery times and she told me the routine wait is one year, however because I'm on zoladex I'm on a different surgery waiting list. Has anyone heard of this before

Endo and fibroid issues
Hello all. No real question. Just needing to share as I'm a bit afraid of what's to come. Just had my second laparoscopy this week. Docs were unable to do anything at the time because one fibroid is so big (in the wall of my uterus) it's starting to squash everything. And lots of stage 4 endo....possibly

Hi, I have had a TKR to both in the last 2 years. A friend lent me a cuff called a Cryocuff which compresses and cools the knee. It really helped. They are expensive to buy but they canbe hired. I was given crutches with special handles, designed for arthritic hands and they helped too. Everything
