advice from all you angels
I’m sorry to bother you all but feeling a bit lost 😞 . The ongoing saga of the waking headache continues as it approaches its 4 year birthday 🤦♀️. I Saw a trainee Gp last week who was kind and lovely . She referred me to neurology which I’ve since discovered is a 10 month wait The headaches are

cool packs
I thought I’d share the fact that I have found great relief from the pain in my head from GCA using gel cool packs. This has helped me from having to use as many pain killers. Give it a try, it’s been a blessed relief and feels wonderful. Thanks

Pain in left knee and right forearm
I'm getting quite bad pain in left knee and right forearm ordinary pain killers don't touch it it's very hard to get a face to face with a doc over here on the Isle of Wight. I haven't had one since last October all it seems to be is phone calls and even then I have to wait up to a fortnight! What pain

Can anyone explain about soy please
Can someone please explain if it is fermented or unfermented soy that is ok to eat if you have an underactive thyroid. I have to make adjustments to what I eat and have been looking at tofu and tempeh but am not sure if they are ok to eat. Apologies I am a bit forgetful at the moment after long surgery

So much pelvic pain, any advice?
Hi All, I've been having pelvic pain on and off for many years, but lived fine with it before. However, in the last 5 months, it's gotten worst and in the last few weeks, it's gotten even worst again. I've already done: * All types of gynae assessments from a scan, to PAP and other tests, to

This is some background. I was recently diagnosed with enlarged prostate. My general health is not good as I had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair and also, last year was diagnosed with Heart Failure. I’ve also got Severe Spinal Stenosis which has returned following a Failed Laminectomy Spine

Very sore shin (bone not joint)
Hi everyone, I am on holiday abroad at the moment so not in contact with any healthcare provider. I am wondering if anyone could advise me on pain I am suffering. Just before I left for holiday I suffered an agonising night of no sleep with a very sore shin. Right on the bone, not near a joint. I blamed

Just needing a vent
I am feeling really fed up right now. I got diagnosed about 2 weeks ago with pots and then 2 days later was in hospital with kidney stones. Got released just on time to make a family trip to London so had lots of painkillers to get through it but still managed to enjoy it. I came home and went to gp

Anterior and Posterior surgery all done
Well I'm on week 3 post Op. All good. Operation went well. Ended up in theatre for 2 hours to repair bladder and bowel prolapse. I
opted not to have pelvic floor therapy or pessaries but to go straight to surgery. Best choice ever. In and out. Catheter in for one night and packing. Removed next morning
