CBD (thc free) for pain relief
I’ve had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. Before that I had a Lumber Spinal Laminectomy (which only worked for about 4 months). I’ve since also been diagnosed with Heart Failure so pain relief is very difficult. The Spinal Stenosis is now severe all down the Lumbar Region. I was given

full heart bypass
I have had a full heart bypass after just over 4 months waiting. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op. Nobody could have prepared me of how hard this is. I know I will feel better and I am getting stronger each day. The emotional rollercoaster is the worse. I am sad, angry and trying to be positive all at

Pains after heart bypass
Hi, had double heart bypass 2 weeks ago and at least once a day I get pains in my neck and chest which ease when I walk about. I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac

Do you find Doctors don’t physically examine you anymore ?
Had a heart bypass 4 years ago but since then I’ve had two unrelated problems that years ago would have entailed a physical examination- primarily by the doctor before a referral . Ok I’m a woman so I won’t go into the specific details . However I had to sign a form before the date of my referral giving

pain in legs and joints
Since I had quadruple heart bypass I was on 11 new tablets .Everything was ok until I’ve been out on some new tablets.Now I am getting cramps,aching joints and I’ve had to stop going with walking groups because of pain in legs. The common denominator here seems to be aspirin,it seems to clash with every

Triple Heart Bypass
Just posting an update on my situation. I am now 5 weeks post op and have been progressing slowly, learning to live with the effects of the op greatly helped by all the responses to my original post. The pain is beginning to subside (very slowly) and my walking has improved and I am doing 30 minutes

jogging?
I’m on waiting list for single or possible double bypass surgery, and I asked one GP about jogging, they said no, just waking and keep on the flat, no hills. Asked a different GP and they yes, carry on, but stop if get chest pains or palpitations. So not sure what to do, could do with losing some poundage

Scar conscious.
Hi Everyone 👋, Just returning from Las Palmas Gran Canaria. 1st time away since my Bypass surgery. Smallish rooftop pool some couple of dozen sun beds 🛌 all facing the rectangular pool. Very serene atmosphere 👌 only ever one or two people taking a dip. So it was with some trepidation I entered

PET Scan results -total ischemic burden 4%
I just got the results of my PET Scan and it was "total ischemic burden 4%". My cardiologist said "we start to worry when it is 10%. It must be a false positive. If that was a true result you would be feeling like there was an elephant on your chest." He didn't go into any further explanations. So I

Triple Heart Bypass
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. Your responses have been very reassuring and I will certainly take on board all the advice I have been given. It seems that the doctors have to give a generalised timeline for recovery, whereas everyone is different and some may

Triple Heart Bypass
Hello, I am new to this community and am looking to find out if anyone has had the same symptoms as I am experiencing. I had a triple bypass 3 weeks ago and I am getting despondent because I don't feel that I will feel any better after 6 weeks which is when they said I could revert more back to normal

My Daughter has had Primary lymphedema for over 20years
Has anyone had liposuction, if you have lymphedema? A clinic in Oxford recommended that or bypass surgery.
