Knee Relacement. 1 Year On
I had a TKR over a year ago but it is nowhere near right. Just wondering if anyone else has similar problems. I had problems with my knee from when I was 18 (am now nearly 70). Two years ago I was diagnosed with RA as I could hardly walk. Between diagnosis and the meds kicking in I had a scan and was

Dbl Mastectomy
I had my double mastectomy Wed, the 4th and came home the 5th. Minimal pain, and not much drainage. Has my 1st dressing change on Friday and it doesn't look bad at all. I thought I'd react badly to it; cry, scream, yell, get angry or be mortified but I never felt any of that, instead I felt "hey, that

Latest blood tests - help with results please
Hi, I've been feeling very unwell recently with bad fatigue, headaches, swollen and sore feet. I've had thrush 3 times in the last month too. I've been on NDT (Erfa) for 8 weeks now (starting on 30mg and increased recently to 45mg) along with 25mg Levothyroxine. Before this, I was on 50mg Levothyroxine

Lymphatic fluid/Seroma
Good morning all, Was just wondering if anyone can put my mind at rest? I had a mastectomy and full axillary lymph node clearance last week, with no drains. Although I appreciate that it is early days, I have noticed a whoosing sound (like a hot water bottle) of what I presume is lymphatic fluid/seroma

Iron.
This is prompted by the recent post by justfor [1]. I was at my integrative medicine doctor yesterday. He's my enabler for off-label meds. We go back to 2006. When I took my most recent lab results (back then), he jumped all over the ferritin number. As I recall, it was in the upper-200s. He wanted

Surgery one done
My husband had his gastrectomy last Thursday and came home yesterday, I’m so proud of him for how well he’s doing. My mastectomy is scheduled for next Thursday and I’m getting nervous about the surgery and leaving the family with my husband still recuperating, but can’t wait for us both to be cancer

Total Gastrectomy check up.
Yesterday I attended an appointment at the hospital some four hours journey from home with the surgeon that performed a Total Gastrectomy on me a little over nine years ago. The appointment was at his request and I had not seen him over the pat fours years. Now he wishes to see me on a yearly basis.
