Surgical scar lumps.
Hi all, It's three months since my heart surgery and while my scar has healed I've noticed three small lumps at the bottom of the cut. They aren't painful but I do worry that they may be infections. Any ideas?

Is this sepsis?
I have had this infection looking thing on my finger for a few days, and today I tried to pop it to no success, I sterilized the needle that I used and nothing would come out, Should I be concerned I have also dressed the wound with Neosporin and cleaned it out with soap and water and have put a band

Hi I am due to have a Liver Scan on next Tuesday 10th November as my Gamma GT is very high. I'm currently suffering with Fatigue and incredibly itchy skin at night which literally started overnight on the 3rd of October. Has anyone experienced anything like this sudden onset of symptoms. I rarely drink

Furosemide side effects
I am suffering severe hearing loss and inflammation of big toe joints. I understand these are known side effects of the diuretic Furosemide. It was prescribed by GP because I have slight heart failure and various heart valve problems and in danger of water collecting round organs, although I have no

Agonising Calf Pain
I’ve just finished Week 3 Run 3. Slightly dreading week 4 due to the pain I am experiencing in my inner calves. It started about week 2 run 2 and is like an agonising burning sensation. It causes me to woddle home and it’s very uncomfortable. As soon as I get home, I get in a hot bath and use deep heat

Pain relief
My husband was discharged from hospital on Sunday after having bypass surgery and aortic valve replacement. The only pain killer he appears to be sent home with is paracetamol!! What have other people been prescribed after open heart surgery please?

Advice
Hi, I’m new here. Acute heart failure July 2018, many med changes without success, CRT-D fitted Nov 2018. Further med changes since then including changing from Ramipril to Entresto. Still no improvement. Now consultant is discussing heart transplant and I’m scared. Any support or advice very much appreciated

Dal (soup off challenge)
So, it’s not technically soup more a curry, but as I ate mine with a spoon this evening, I reckon it can sneak in as an entry for the soup off 🍜 Fry an onion in oil for a few minutes then add 3 dried red chilli peppers. Continue to fry until onions are starting to brown. Add a cup of red split lentils

If I can't reach behind my back after surgery, how will I be able to use toilet paper? This is actually very worrisome!
Well, this is embarrassing! But I am scheduled to have open heart surgery on Tuesday so I was reading about it, and it says you can't reach behind your back for a few weeks afterwards. How am I going to use TP after taking a dump then? I'm single and alone so there is nobody I could ask for help with
