Pending Hysterectomy Advice
Hi everyone, I’m feeling anxious to write here, it’s only tonight I thought maybe something like this might help, alongside those who know and are experiencing the same as me. I’m due to undergo surgery for a hysterectomy in December, and am now starting to feel incredibly anxious. Sorry for the essay

Severe pain triggered by sitting or lying down- does anyone else experience this?
Hi all, my first post on here! I was diagnosed with stage 2 Endo after having a lap last December. The surgeon found it in the space between my womb and bladder, womb and bowel, and around my left ovary and all down my left pelvic wall. It was excision surgery and he took out everything that he could

Advice sought on management
Hello, I am writing for some advice on managing ovarian cyst pain and PCOS. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2016 and had a laparoscopy in 2019 where nothing was found. I was still experiencing frequent need to urinate, abdominal pressure, irregular frequent bleeding, mood swings, back ache, pain and headaches

Anyway I’ve have had in the past jerks all over which would stop me from sleeping but I don

Week 6 #1 done
I was going to give myself an extra rest day after slogging my way through a very unpleasant 20 minutes at the end of week 5. The weather was so inviting yesterday morning that instead of a gentle morning of pottering around I set off to start week 6. What could be so difficult about it? After a solid

Hypothyroidism and shivering
Hi. I have Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism but a few months ago my doctor had me take 4xs my medication to prevent a flare from covid. It was only for a week but have had a few occasions where I felt uncontrollably cold even in summer. Recently my physical therapist used a TENS unit on my back with

pregnancy RLS
I was on medication before I was pregnant because my RL was so severe. Since being pregnant the medication wasn’t advised due to lack of research. I am approaching 32 weeks pregnant and it’s worse than ever! I can’t sleep. Iv tried iron supplements, tens machine, ice packs, magnesium cream and bath salts

Solifenacin
Hi everyone. Here again. After a few months of almost normal life it seems the Solifenacin has stopped working. I am only on 5mg but am reluctant to take the 10mg as the lower one causes constipation for which I have to have laxitives. On a high fibre diet but with plenty of fruit and veg. This

I also have crepitus in my right shoulder due to an accident which has also damaged my back. Yes, I know, need a new body but until medical science catches

Pain that worsens upon movement? And triggers longer episodes of pelvic pain if I’ve been lifting or especially walking anywhere.
So, just over 3 years ago, I had a tubo-ovarian abscess, which I was in hospital for around a week with… It’s likely that this may have been caused by the coil itself and a consequent infection. Managed conservatively at the time but after repeated infections and severe pain, I was finally offered surgery

Acupuncture for bladder issues
We have been trying everything over the past 7 years for our son who has dysfunctional voiding. Currently Solifenicin and TENS from the consultant. We asked if we could try acupuncture if TENS has no impact. Has anyone been down this route - or anything else not NHS standard? We feel we have tried

TENS machines & AF
Does anyone here use a TENS machine? A physio has recommended one to me for a different health issue. Pads would be on ankles, not near heart. I’ve lone PAF (no pacemaker). AFib isn’t contraindicated, but sending electrical signals through my body feels counter-intuitive. Thx.

2023: Your Successes and Failures
My mum is 83, has PD and dementia.
Successes
1. Constipation and digestive issues very much helped with the addition of Motilitone, a prokinetic. Once a day or every other day now. No strain. Zero stress around the issue now. Previously, there was a great deal. Abdominal pains have gone. (

Bridgefeast--nice post! More on exercise
The importance of exercise, including resistance exercise is irrefutable. Bridgefeast is a UK man which made me take notice. "Strand Pulling" contests were once a sport in the UK. Strand pulling uses a chest expander. I have the booklet written by Syd Devis who was a UK strand pulling champion. I got

Constant Pain
Hi there. My name is Paul and I'm new to the forum. I've been struggling with pain for many years now which was mainly lower back related and according to MRI scans was down to wear and tear/disc degeneration. Since my first MRI in 2006 I've had several more scans and the pain has gradually become
