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

Prostrap & dry eye
Hello, I’m on month 5 of prostrap with tibolone whilst I await excision surgery for endometriosis. I’m experiencing the worst dry eye / blepharis. In having to cleanse my eyelids, hot flannel massage, eye rinse, and drops and then eyelid cream multiple times a day and it’s really getting me down.

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

Confused
I had my first appointment with an endo specialist today. I think I'm still in shock at the whole situation to be honest and am trying to sort things out in my head. I've just turned 40 and there's no history of endo in my family. I've been diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis. The endo is between

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

Total knee replacement
19 days post op - been very tough especially when COVID thrown into the mix! My muscle tone wasn’t great pre-op but is now nonexistent. Is it possible to build muscle tone with PMR? Without PMR it’s possible to build good muscle tone with regular exercises but no matter how frequently I do my post op

Updates on my father
My father was scheduled for a simple robotic prostatectomy which turned in a partial cystectomy .. The surgeon found a well oval encapsulated mass in the bladder in the size of 14 cm which he removed it . He also did a simple prostatectomy , his prostate was enlarged but not as big as the doctor thought

Low dose aspirin
Had anyone who is on low dose aspirin for life, found their iron levels have dropped. Went for pre assessment for total knee replacement a few weeks before Christmas and blood test showed my iron levels had dropped, so now going for iron infusion at local hospital this afternoon. Looking back on past

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

Advice or any comments on latest numbers please 🙏
I had my blood drawn at 8:00 AM / 24 hours after last dosage of 125 Levothyroxine and 10 Liothyronine. All in one dose early in the morning - usually around 6:00 AM. With the assistance of the calculators I am: 50% through the reference range on T3 73.68% through the reference range on T4 -10.79%

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

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

Afinitor side effects
I have been in treatment for breast cancer since 2006 and have done the drill - lumpectomy, lymph nodes removal, chemo, radiation, herceptin, Arimidex for six years… then in 2019 a mastectomy, more hormone blockers, and three years of various combinations with Ibrance, which has sadly stopped working
