Blood test results - best practice
I have had rheumatoid disease for about nine months now and it has been really difficult to get access to my blood test results. The hospital provide labels, the tests are done at my surgery and the results are sent to the hospital. The overworked team there are reluctant to share the results and my

DBS stopped working
I’m looking to see if anyone has experienced similar DBS results, I had my DBS(GPI) surgery on 7/31 and immediately had positive results before the switch on. It felt like I was cured but I knew that this was the honeymoon phase. After a week or so my symptoms returned until I had my first programming

Post Surgery Issues
Hi All, I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in July and all healed well - very happy. Then the past few days the incision in my belly button has started hurting, I have a swollen belly and it feels like a UTI then I have some bleeding from my belly button and it has a red mark around it. It looks

post op recovery
Hello, I had diagnostic laparoscopy 1 week ago, (where I was told no endo found but the gynaecologists told me just before I was heading up for surgery he wasn’t going to check my bowel or bladder where most of my symptoms are, only my reproductive organs 🙄 all he seemed to be concerned with) my recovery

Laparoscopy found nothing - symptoms all point to endometriosis
I don’t suppose anyone has been in the same situation as me and can help? I have suffered from a range of issues from 15 with periods; bleeding and pain with intercourse, severe leg pain, always bleeding/spotting outside of periods, bad period pains, UTI like symptoms and odd bowel movements around

1.15 a.m. U.K. Back again!
Hi all. Haven't been here for a short while due to hospital and scan's. Also trying to just cope with this horrible RLS which none of the Dr.s seem to take seriously here. Also having a verbal admission that our Pain Clinic don't look at a ' whole ' Xray but only focus on 1 area which is why they ignored

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has undergone excision surgery and what was your experience pre and Post excision surgery? I was going to undergo this surgery but when the second pre consent was read out to me I did not consent to one of the additional procedures. I consented to everything

Bloody Covid can sod off!
Hi All, Had heart attack/ stent fitted 10 weeks ago & still struggling with side effects of medication. Dropped down to 1 Bisoprolol instead of 2 & this temporarily stopped the dizzy spells & light headedness. But within a couple of weeks they were back again & I just feel like crap most of the time

Anyone had spinal fusion on T10-12?
I have severe osteoporosis and kyphosis from breaking T10-T12 and wondered if anyone has had this? They're recommending a spinal fusion to fix this or otherwise to live in a brace forever hoping the kyphosis curve won't progress any more than it already has. I'm wondering which is the better option if

Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

waiting for a diagnosis
hi, I have just joined this forum and hope someone can reassure me. I have been having chest pains but put it down to indigestion until last week when it was worse. I didn’t want to call an ambulance as gp suggested but they saw me in surgery straight away. I have been on statins for years as most of

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from
