Endoscopy was a bust.............
I got to the hospital fairly early for my apt. at 1.30pm and i was the second patient on the list. Dr lee came to see me and he was lovely. He has hinted that i might need a valve replacement as it is thickening quite a lot. I don't remember much about it as the sedation was working and afterwards

surgery ready
So I’m on the countdown to my total hysterectomy on 5th October. Had the pre op tests and book of a tick box questionnaire. Feeling a bit weird, I know all the pain and bleeding and hospital visits will be over at last, and I know I need this surgery because without it I just won’t have a normal life

Subchondral Insufficiency fracture
I posted a few weeks ago about being diagnosed with this plus bone oedema. Not seen an orthopaedic surgeon yet so dont really know the prognosis apart from possible partial knee replacement. But can it repair as most fractures do? Anyone know? I have read that it can be caused by steroids (3 years on

Covid
I started to have cold symptoms a week ago and took a test which was negative. Felt like the worse cold ever - terrible muscle aches, cough and congestion. After a couple of days I realised I couldn’t smell anything . My daughter who is a nurse said it sounds like Covid so I tested again and this

Can HRT stop working?
Hi, I had a total hysterectomy June 22 and have been on everol estrogen 100mg patches since and my menopause symptoms were controlled for the most. However, these past few weeks my symptoms have been creeping back starting with sleeplessness, night sweats, brain fog and now my skin is itchy as anything

Hi Everyone, A year ago I was diagnosed the NAFLD Cirrhosis to summarise Child Scale A, Meld 7 and well compensated. I was having an endoscopy for something else. Initially was shocked, panicked and experienced a myriad of emotions. I’ve just had a review after a year my first scan, and liver function

prostrap injections
Hi All, thank you for the add- I am new here. I have ademomyosis, fibroids and also possibly endometriosis. I am listed for a total hysterectomy but start (thursday!) prostrap injections to see how I would cope with no ovaries (with add back HRT) and to check the effect on my terrible ovulation symptoms

Min invasive Aortic valve replacement:- happy or disappointed?
I’m 67 yo, male, slightly overweight but otherwise good health but I have a severe Aortic Stenosis, that’s running at about 25% of full capacity. My only symptoms are slight breathlessness when climbing stairs. Saw a surgeon yesterday who wants to replace the valve with an animal valve, but he does not

hip replacement advice
Has anyone had joint replacement after being diagnosed with MBC? If so, do you have any advice? I was diagnosed with MBC to the bones and liver July 2020. After radiation and several lines of drug treatment, I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my right hip a year ago. I had existing painful

Coping after hip replacement
Hi Everyone, Sorry its me again with yet more concerns about forthcoming hip replacement on 5th December. Despite my emphasising to the surgeon at my recent pre-op assessment that I was having excruciating pain in my right hip (which is what I had assumed would need replacing) BUT because the x-rays

Probably more of a rant than asking for help, this is my first post. Recently I replied to a question by someone to have an ablation first or a hip replacement, my choice was to have my hip replaced first that has been taken out of my hands. As in the title they have found a new way to reduce the waiting
