Shoe and shoe insoles
Hi all I'm hoping that I can get some suggestions about footwear or shock absorbing insoles. I have a bad knee (waiting for knee replacement op) and now have lower back pain. I'm going away soon and expect to walk lot more than I do at home. Any advice appreciated.

Should I defer MRI
Hi. I have hip replacement op booked for 17 June.I have received cardiac MRI appointment for 26 June. I tried the MRI dept to ask if I should defer. They passed the buck back to Cardiology. I asked at the pre op assessment yesterday but again no clear advice. I usually recover quickly from surgery -

aortic valve stenosis
In 2022 I had a hip replacement following covid infection as it affected the synovial hip fluid and was then alerted to the fact that there was a problem with my aortic valve. I need to have aortic valve replacement and am currently on the waiting list. In my first consultation the cardiologist said

Awaiting scan
Hi, I had a GP appointment Thursday and have been referred for an emergency ultra sound and blood test. I'm feeling really anxious. I thought I had peri menopause symptons for months. I'm on estrogen only HRT as have the coil ( which is due to be replaced). I can only describe my symptons as constant

I got my date for my Op ! Excited 😊
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve

Diagnosed HBP Dec 2022. On Amlodipine 5mg since Jan 2023. All good as at May 2024.
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. Sitting long periods is no good = swollen ankles. Exercise resolves that within

Struggling with week 8
I am completing week 8 run 2 and I've been exhausted this week. I've bought some electrolyte tablets and found they helped on the first run of thus week. I have been overheating and actually felt a little sick after a run last week due to having to do evening runs and the humidity. Anyone else running

Surprise at GP
had an appt this morning about gut/urgency issues and finally got round to asking what my very first TSH reading was, in August 2021, 3 months post hip replacement surgery. My understanding was that I was borderline - I didn’t even know what that was! I was retested six weeks later and a bit higher,

Worried
I am feeling very depressed and worried that something else is going on with my heart other than my usual micro vascular angina. I kept on taking the Hrt despite it giving me significant chest pain every time I took it. I thought I would push through it and that it would get better as it was only applied
