Where to begin……….
A month ago I had a total hip replacement - in and out on same day which seems to be a policy with many hospitals now. Stayed a week with my sister then home alone…. Was on 4.5mg Prednisolone but for ease of management have been taking 5 mg ever since. Have had a pretty stressful period with a

Breast dimpling post Lumpectomy?
Hi there! Anyone notice breast dimpling after lumpectomy? It has been 6 months after my surgery and I’m seeing 2 distinct dimples showing in the surgery area. I’m thinking it could be from the scar tissue?

Hip replacement surgery
Has anyone had hip replacement surgery with ET jak 2 , on hydroxy and aspirin? I'm due for this in a few weeks with a pre op assessment in 2 weeks time. Surgeon has been made aware of Et situation. I just wondered if anyone has encountered any problems or issues, or whether the procedure was straight

Any success with only one Lap surgery for DIE?
Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing as well as possible. I'm 5 weeks post op for my first lap for DIE, large cysts organs stuck together. All the good stuff. I've recovered pretty well and feel ok now. I'm on Utrogestan 200mg to hopefully stop my period and reduce chances of regrowth. I also take NAC,

Back at the start
Apologies for yet another interminably long delay since my last update. As ever, a lot to fill you all in on and not really sure where to start... At the tail end of February I was due for my latest outpatient transplant clinic. That clinic got cancelled due to staff shortages but was rearranged for

Fibroscan result waiting time?
Please can somebody tell me how long it takes to receive results for a fibroscan? I started this journey in November 2023 after asking for a general check-up at my GP surgery because of some non-liver related issues. I had no awareness at all that my liver could be damaged. After a few rounds of blood

osteoporosis following pmr
my pmr diagnosis coincided with the start of lockdown so I never saw a doctor. I was eventually prescribed pred and omeprazol over the phone in May 2020 and thankfully managed to taper down to zero by early 2023 after major abdominal surgery. All seems fine for now but my new Gp was shocked that I never

menstruation after bilateral oophorectomy
Hi, I'm really hoping to open a big list of answers, but I'm stumped. In 2020 I had surgery and both ovaries were removed since they were necrotic. I never really knew what happened because you hadn't even started a sexual life and it turns out that they were infected by a sexually transmitted infection

Total hysterectomy with oopherectomy recovery advice needed please!
Hi all, it’s been about 3 years since I wrote into this group. Back then I was considering having a hysterectomy to help relive the symptoms of severe endo. I still couldn’t decide so I decided to wait and see how I felt in a few years. Well, life had other plans. I got stage 3 ovarian cancer at 40

Quadratus Lumborem Pain
I am a 68 yr old male who has had lumbar pain for 20+ years now and before my last surgery (I've had 2) my MRI showed my lowest 5 discs are bad. Anyway, last fall I somehow hurt my quadratus lumborem muscle on my right side and the pain has been so debillitating it has rendered me unable to walk on

Persistant AF and non-connected surgical procedures.
I had paroxysmal AF for a number of years become more frequent and more symptomatic over time. On 28 November last year I had Cryo-ablation and had meds changed from Sotolol (which clearly wasn't working) to Amiodarone. unfortunately the ablation does not appear to have been effective as after one

Robotic wedge lung resection
During my pet scan a lung shadow was reported. Biopsy failed to get tissue but Drs. do not think it is from the stage 2/3 prostate cancer. They recommend a wedge resection via a daVinci mechanism to remove it. I'd like to hear from someone who has had that surgery but since it may be tangential to this
