Laparoscopy incisions taking ages to heal
My stitches are still present and my surgery
wounds
are still sore. I spoke to my GP and he said that some people take longer. I have had a lap previously and they came out after about 2 and a half week and felt like they were suitably healed by 3. Has anyone else found this with their stitches?

Arghhhh
So annoyed ( probably based in fear!) but the district nurse has just been out to check wound and change dressing and incredibly, removed a further four stitches that had been left in! She said she cannot be certain that there are not more under the scab/ scar and I am so worried that if this is the

Last Monday, the district nurse cane out and told me it looked better, stuck a dressing on and told me to leave it on for a week- that’s today. I’ve taken it off and by

Has anyone tried Ketone Test Strips?
I bought some for fun more than anything and out of curiosity last week. I started doing partial-day fasts and did notice I was in a state of ketosis after 48 hours. It is interesting to see them measure when my body is burning fat but I think that's inevitable when cutting down calories anyway, with

PRAISE FOR MY GP SURGERY AND LOCAL PHARMACY
My surgery operates an online service for repeat prescriptions (and other services). I ordered my next lot of supplies last Sunday and included an additional note requesting my next lot of Coaguchek test strips. My last order of test strips was a year ago before surgery went online, so I was unsure

Working with endometriosis 😓
Hey ladies! Any advice on how to get through a really physical job with endometriosis? I have so much pain everyday and when I go to work I’m on my feet 8 hours I walk at least 5 miles a day and lift any where from 25 to 70 pounds. I had a laparoscopic salpingectomy about 3 weeks ago and find it hard

Feel as if chest has scaffolding on it
Wounds
seem to be healing nicely as far as I can tell but I get a sometimes uncomfortable feeling of tightness and numbness in the upper chest area. It feels as if I've got scaffolding on my chest whenever I get up and walk about.

Burns on stomach after laparoscopy (**WARNING IMAGES**)

Some
wounds
are never healed. Is it worth it? My own father left home following a bitter argument with his father, and was never reconciled with his family, so I deeply appreciate the deep pain that the wrong words can cause. “Some things are better left unsaid.

Anticoagulant
I would like to know from your experience if taking anticoagulant like Pradaxa or Apixaban will make healing of
wounds
or ulcers last longer? Have anyone of you experienced this? Thanks.
