Rotigitine Patches
Happy New year everyone. I have had Restless Legs now for many years and in the beginning was given several drugs. Many years ago I went to see Dr Fackrell privately in Bath and he diagnosed me as having severe restless legs and put me on Rotigitine Patches, which over the years have been pretty

knee surgery
I have a constant cough since I contacted COVID in 2023, resulting in Haemophilus influenzae! I have been prescribed 6 different antibiotics and Doxycycline for past three months but still showing in sputum! I am due for knee replacement with spinal block soon do you think this will be possible?

Dad’s story
I’m writing on behalf of my dad who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis back in 1982 when he was 28. He managed his condition very well with no medication, just diet and a healthy lifestyle until things started getting worse around 12 years ago. He was put on a medication which controlled things

Full Knee Replacement
I've been scheduled for a full knee replacement on Thursday next week (will have a friend stay with me for the first week). Does anyone have any hints and tips? I will buy a grabber thingy and have been looking at gadgets to help me put socks on - but am confused by all the different sorts. Rheum

1. I attended my 1st PC in 2012 (Cambridge) following spinal decompression which was successful but I also had fibromyalgia. 2. Transferred to 2nd Peterborough PC due to travel problems. Sat through excruciatingly painful group sessions relating to the Biopsychosocial Model and Mindfulness. Course

Morning, so I have increasing pain in knees, worse on left. Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

PD and orthopedic surgeries
I’m debating having a partial knee replacement (for patella femoral arthritis) AND/OR Morton’s neuroma surgery. I really need both, but am very concerned about not being able to exercise, the way I usually do, for at least a few months. Would it be wise to schedule both surgeries just a couple of

Asprin to prevent dvt

I am supposed to take the regular dose of 325 mgs BID for a month..I know ASA is not as risky as the the other

Follow up to my last post re SDR
It's now almost 4 weeks since Mark's knee replacement. He's doing well after a small setback at the weekend. He saw our Dr a week ago to ask if he could drive. Dr told him to ask the physio. She tested him on a step, checking the force he could use on his knee and gave permission for him to drive

Gabapentine
I have had RLS for many years. I am 85 years of age. My doctor prescribed Amitryptiline 10 mgs last year but I found that after a while it had no effect whatsoever. My doctor has now prescribed Gabapentine but on reading the leaflet with the package it has so many side effects that I 'm afraid to use

Sciatic type pain following knee replacement
Hello all, I had a
total
knee
replacement
3 weeks ago and since then I have had a constant pain emanating from my lower spine and across my buttock. It’s worse when lying down. Has anyone else had this after TKR? I’m hoping it’s just upset muscles rather than true sciatica.

Insufficiency Fracture - likely cause - Prednisilone
I saw an orthopaedic Fracture surgeon last week following an MRI on my right knee to investigate knee pain. She reported a small meniscus tear and a small piece of detached cartilage. However she also reported an Insufficiency Fracture in the femur which she thinks may have been caused by Prednisolone

Knee replacement
I have had one knee replaced a few years ago and now have extreme pain, bone on bone, in the other knee. I asked my GP for a referral and he said to try injections as there’s a long waiting list! (I’ve tried these before and they only offered temporary and not much relief!) Can I insist on a referral
