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.

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.

Post Lap Washing
🙄 So my notes say to shower after 24 hours, however the nurse told me not to get the
wounds
wet for 5 days. My notes say not to have a bath for two weeks, however I only have a bath, not a shower... Someone help!

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

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

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

And End of an Era
My ex is officially cut. He literally said "get help." He said so many harsh things and used my mental health as a low blow. I never sprung nor showed my struggles to him. And had the audacity to say everything that he did. The point of this post is, if you have someone in your life that uses your own

Remeron
I was put on remeron 15 mg at the first of November 2023. I was changed over with a direct switch from cipralex 15 mg. I had nausea for 1st 2 months and such a dry mouth that I was waking up at night choking because my mouth was so dry. I was breaking through and it wasn't managing my depression. At

Pulse Field Ablation yesterday
hi everyone Just wanted to update you on the pulse field ablation I had at Papworth hospital yesterday. The hospital was amazing and the staff were lovely and reassuring. The whole procedure took about 2 1/2 hours then 30 minutes in recovery then back to the room for 2hours lay down… I was allowed

no Adrenalin for BCC removal.
Hi there, I’m having a BCC removed from my arm, I have PAF, should I ask for anaesthetic injection that has no Adrenalin. Thanks.
