Due fem pop surgery.
In May last year I started to get pain in my left calf and foot including toes.. I 65, 66 in October and am a very active non smoker. I have a BMI of around 19. Went to doctors and had bloods and a Basic Doppler test done which showed there was a problem with blood flow. Placed on Statin and anticoagulants

Hi Everyone,I got my date for my Mitral Valve repair for 21st June. I was so pleased that my Surgeon moved me up the waiting list! However after getting my haircut 13 days ago and the Junior who washed my hair and made me tea had a cold ! I dropped the next day . Started my rescue pack of steroids

Bra after lung surgery?
What bras did you find most comfortable post surgery or maybe I should be asking, what bras did you find most tolerable? (Not initially after but a few weeks after surgery). Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm asking on behalf of someone else. Also, we are currently working to create a lung cancer

Hi, everyone, I am new here. I have had bouts of sciatica over the years but none have been as bad as this one. It has been going on for 6 weeks now. The first 4 weeks it affected my left side right down to my left big toe. I was able to walk, even though the pain caused some discomfort. I always

Hi everyone, just to ask those of you with ET and taking HU, when taking two 500 mg capsules in a day, do you take them both together or at separate times in the day?

So very grateful for Thyroid UK
I just have to express my gratitude to this forum and the admins who give of their time to help us who are or have been floundering with NHS input (or lack of input+even dismissiveness of our thyroid journey) with regard to our thyroid and other connected issues. My son will be 48 this year and that’

PMR vs Fibro - follow up to my post
Thanks for all the comments on my first post. It was very helpful. So I put in an e consult to make an appointment with doc for review of my PMR and pred dosage. I arrived at the surgery and discovered that I actually had an appointment with the physio, not the doc. So much for AI! 🙄 Anyway, we

Need surgery
Hi I'm not new here but I thought I'd take a shot in the dark and explain the predicament that I am in. I have a prolapsed stoma which is 4 inches long and 55mm in diameter I've also herniated my bowel with it being 10cm in length. I also have 1 metre of small bowel left so not really much at all when

Adenomyosis and hysterectomy
Hi, I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis and signs of endometriosis in 2019, been on the hysterectomy waiting list for 2 years and now I’m booked for surgery on 5th March.

New here - looking for advice
Hi, I’m new here. I’ve suspected endo for about 12 years and am hoping that I’ll be getting clarity from my GP soon. Any info in the meantime would be super reassuring. I recently went for a scan and 3 endometriomas were noted. Does this confirm endometriosis? My GP ordered a CA-125. Do you know

Bowel obstruction with HGOC stage 4a inoperable
Hi, I haven’t posted in a long while but appreciate reading everyone’s advice and support to everyone else. I had 3 attempts at surgery last year including the last with Christina F but all were unsuccessful due to extensive miliary disease on the bowel. I went back on 2 chemos so I could start on

Post ICD Implant-week 2
Hi all, I was hoping to get some feedback/advice from ideally ladies who have undergone ICD implant surgery. Today marks two weeks from getting an ICD. It is placed under the muscle and towards my armpit, over my left breast. I have been slowly building up some movement and a walking routine back
