The Medical Thread.

Thanks keith/Bob. 12oclock tomorrow I have a vet coming to the house. And she will rest. But she will never walk alone. Right by her side.

So I'm back at the hospital tomorrow morning to see if the eye injections i've been having have worked or whether I need to have more. I'm hopeful as I feel my eyes have improved if only slightly, so keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

Thanks RC9, had my eyes photographed and tried to read the chart, got down to about the 4th line, thought I would be seeing a consultant but I didn't, will have to go back for the results after they've looked at the photographs - more waiting.

RC9 what is TMJ/TMD - I haven't heard of it? Sounds painful though...

Ah, my fingers are crossed it will be good news for you.

Temporomandibular joint disorder, essentially means for whatever reason your jaw isn't functioning properly, mine is due to a disc displacement and muscular issues in the face, it is an exhausting condition as I am on constant painkillers because of headaches which are daily and pain in the face from muscle spams and tightness. To this day I have spent thousands on trying to get help with it but so far no results unfortunately!

Cheers, I hope so too.

Oh that sounds very debilitating and stressful for you, makes you think doesn't it how they're able to send people to the moon and make robots walk and talk but unable to cure things like you have, crazy world. I hope your able to take some comfort from the painkillers you take although I know that's not the answer, good luck hun.

Found out that I will need to go for testing in a few years time to make sure whatever my dad has been suffering with regarding Angina isn't hereditary.

Thanks Keith, I had one removed in Glan Clwyd, North Wales earlier in the year.

Got to be one of the worst things in life , watching your parents go downhill , got a phone call off my mam this morning luckily I wasn’t in work , my dad had collapsed on the bedroom floor , I only live around the corner so was there quickly, turns out his legs just give out and he had no power in them , slight bang to the head but was ok just couldn’t get himself up ,
Well dad still weighs around 12.5/ 13  stone
Took a great effort for me to pick him off the floor dead weight and sit him on the bed , I’ve steadied him now and got him to his stair lift and downstairs , he suffers with low blood pressure so hoping that was just the case , he’s had some breakfast and is feeling a lot better when I think back to the days , when he was dropping eight in the Derry club and then going to the game seems like a lifetime ago .

I know most won't want to hear but Keith asked in a thread how I was so thought best to keep in here.

Getting discharged today with pain meds programme to recover at home. Obviously sore as hell but comfortable enough considering. All about keeping the lungs working fully to stave off infection and taking time for the ribs to recover.

Lucky boy in a way as physio was telling me a lady got caught under her car last week and was killed.

6/8 weeks fully recovery but I'm hoping half that off work but I guess we'll see.

No need to tell you how lucky you are in a sense, but you seem to have the right attitude and I'm sure you'll be all patched up in no time. Praying for a quick recovery.

I have a ganglion cyst on the back of my right hand wrist, going to the Doctor's on Wednesday. Anyone else had this problem, thanks for any advice.

I don't know that's what I had, but I had a cyst removed from the back of my head near my neck area. It wasn't bothering me other than it was noticeable when I had my hair cut short (which I usually do) so they agreed to remove it. Wasn't a big deal. From what I understand with ganglion cyst's they aren't cancerous and really only need treatment if they are causing discomfort or pain or otherwise interfering with your day to day life.

First of all glad you are ok, also believe they are not cancerous. This is not really bothering me, but feel it is best to it checked out.

I have read they can simply drain a cyst, I will wait and see, but causing me no real problems.

I was hoping they'd try to drain mine, but it was more of a mass of cells I guess than fluid so it had to be cut out. If I were to guess...I'd bet they will either drain yours or maybe even go the anti-inflammatory medicine route, depending on how big it is. Good luck either way.

I had a cyst a few inches below my nipple. It made me look like i had one ab basically ... it wasnt bothering me but it began to get bigger.

I had it removed ... a local anesthetic. In surgery for less than 30 minutes beginning to end and being stitched up. A small scar about 1 1/2 inches.

It was worth getting it removed for sure.
