Third week post op laparoscopy
When water is on my
wounds
it stings, the nurse didn't give any information of how to take care of my
wounds
and when it's ok to wash my
wounds
. Also will the bruises on my stomach fade away?

When to change dressing?
I have 4
wounds
and just wondering when I should change the dressings? Can't believe the nurse never advised me. I was too tired and in pain to remember to ask.

post-op incisions
Hi everyone, I had surgery (ovarian cystectomy & excision of endometriosis) on 18/02/24 One of my
wounds
seems to be open. I feel ‘fobbed off’ by doctors who state it will close on its own. Did anyone else’s incisions look like this? Did they heal okay?

Should I remove the bandages from my incisions for good?
Mine are closed I think since there is no red tissue or open
wounds
just some scars like you have when your wound is healing. I still keep them covered with waterproof bandages as i do not want to get them wet when showering.

Leg wounds
Does anyone have any advice on leg
wounds
? I am 83 years old and I had one on my lower left leg a couple of years ago which took 5 months to heal. I now have another, smaller one, on the inside of my left knee which is also taking a long time to heal - 3 months so far.

Keratin (?) / sebum (?) plugs attached to Scabs
It's been chronic for about 3 years, and not many people seem to suffer with these plugs that develop in
wounds
. Incredibly itchy. When pulled out to get relieve, they bleed profusely for a bit and then stops. I have the same
wounds
from a year back. It's only where I'm wounded does it develop.

Wounds
like a burn and a scratch are taking ages to heal. I am older, 66, and I know this can happen. Any suggestions for tests I could ask for and is there any point asking for them. Best wishes Fiona

Can the Spirit heal?
Lately the old
wounds
want to open up and see how badly I bleed. Not physical wound, mind you, but the type of
wounds
you can't see in a persons eyes. I, myself, don't know how badly I am broken. The scary part is I'm not sure I want to know.

Skin Tares and Showers
Like a lot of us I get skin tares and sometimes wind up with a nurse practitioner dressing the wound. Recently I had one on my leg and the dressing had to be kept dry. ‘Oh no! No showers.’ I moaned, (I’d like to say it it wasn’t a moan but it was 🙄). ‘ Haven’t you heard of Limbo?’ She replied. Well

Today is not a good day for me. I didn't sleep well last night. Woke with stomach ache. I have IBS and can't take any ppi s except for pepcid. I also am on Elliqus, Elvail and slow-mag. I have several allergies too. I am trying to stay positive but I could really use some encouragement right now. I

Wound healing and Steroid Use
I have been on Prednisone for just over a year. I am down to 10mg and cannot titer down without flare. I am waiting for approval for Kevzara. I have noticed that when I get a small cut or skin abrasion (which is more frequent since my skin is thinner with steroid use) It gets very red and takes a long

Candle of Hope.
I was painting a landscape. but was so far behind. I wanted a painting I could post this evening or tomorrow morning. So Far - my mind was a blank. I realised I had a Heart Canvas, had been used but I blacked out with Mars Black. I painted a Candle in red/white and a Magenta Heart at the foot of

synarel
Has anyone been prescribed Synarel (the sniff drug that stops your ovaries producing estrogen). I’m starting it in a few days, along with Evorel conti. The theory is, if the pain stops I can go straight for a full hysterectomy to avoid many potential laparoscopies in the years to come. Bit scary making

Dienogest
I had a consultation with my specialist today and he decided to put me on Dienogest following the laparoscopy that I had in January, in which he found endometrial tissue in all four quadrants and a fluid filled pouch of Douglas. He said that he believed that is the reason why the Medroxyprogesterone

great grandmother of twob
does anyone know of a support group for young adults who suffer from breast implant illness. My granddaughter has most of the symptoms and will need to have the implants removed but I worry about her mental health following surgery

Curious about thin-skinned ears---Prednisone?
Does anyone else have issues with the edges of their ears getting raw? My pillowcases are quite smooth, and periodically, I have a problem with the edges of my ear bleeding and must keep it covered while I sleep until it heals. I deal with it, heal it, and I'm fine. Then in a few months...I hop on
