Avatar n tn Thus, ACL prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward and also contributes stability to other movements at the joint including the angulation, rotation at the knee joint. When an ACL injury occurs, the knee becomes less stable and there is a sensation that the knee will 'give out' from under them. Consequently, there would be difficulty in doing high demand work beyond the activities of daily living.

Avatar f tn i had an operation in the 'C' section of my neck 14 months ago, an MRI showed before the op i had a crushed spinal canal from C2-T7. i had 3 discs removed from the 'C' section and replaced with bone taken from my hip, which had been made into a resin and then 2, 3 sided blocks if titanium held with 10 screws to hold and line everything back in place. unfortunately it releived some of the symptons i was getting but has caused others.
Avatar f tn The appointment for NHS seem to take forever to come through (the online system used never had anything available) and because of my concern I decided to see a private gyno who also practises NHS. He confirmed my worse fears that id need an operation and that I'd loose my left ovary. He advised me to go back to GP for blood test and go back to NHS referral. So here I am 2 months down the line and still don't seem to have got any further.
Avatar n tn As it is on the NHS I feel rude to suggest the size etc I would be happy with but I want to be sure the bone is concealed well, else there would be no point in the operation. Has anyone had similar issues or had any cosmetic procedures on the NHS?
Avatar m tn Hello, I have had 3 arthroscopies on my left knee to repair my lateral horn meniscus in September 2009, January 2014 and March 2015. Each time after the operation and recovery my knee begins to feel good and strong again. After 1 and a half year since my last operation my knee has felt great, however 5 days ago I squatted down (asian squat toilet), and instantly knew I had torn the cartilage again. Since this moment my left knee has a constant ache/throb.
Avatar f tn Five months to the day I went back into hospital for C4/C5 discs to be removed (as this disc had slipped since the first operation). Since the operation, the spasms have stopped but the stiffness in my neck is awful. If I have a rush of adrenaline my neck goes stiff, if I try to do any exercises, my neck goes stiff and no massage/exercise seems to relieve the muscles. I've just been signed off by the NHS physio as there was nothing else she could do.

Avatar f tn Surgical repair for torn meniscus of L' Knee. 3 months post-op it buckled, caused tear during fall to R' Knee and meniscus was surgically repaired but has also failed, although the surgeon refuses to order an MRI to "prove" this latest injury. Pain is an issue as I am allergic to all pain meds ordered to date and take nothing for the pain levels of 9-10. Before injury both knees were healthy, minimal arthritic changes on MRI's in spite of age 58 and obesity.
Avatar n tn I have had extreme knee pain (to the point where I can now barely walk as it is), and I don't know what the problem is. In March 2008, I had an operation to help remove a torn miniscus, and the pain went away after physical therapy. Now it's back (been back for about 5 months), and in BOTH knees now, rather than just one. Went back to the same doctor that did the operation, and he gave me some anti-inflammatories that worked for a week then quit working.

Last week with the NHS neurologist none of the above was mentioned!

Her eye sight in her other eye is poor and i'm worried for her sight. Is there any operation that can restore the sight in the eye with the retina damage. If so which hospitals, where, and how much would it cost.

Avatar f tn I had suffered with back trouble on and off for many years, the latest bout starting in mid 2008 and continuing right up to my operation in 2009. I tried every therapy imaginable before i was forced into the operation,however nothing worked. I had L1 and L2 protrusion which the docs seemed to think may heal with time, although i have to say, the doctors did act fast with the onset of foot drop.
Avatar m tn I did my Medial collateral ligament on my left knee 10 months ago. I went to see 3 NHS doctors over 5 months and each told me to rest. I then finally got assigned to Physio which really helped. I was told because of the time (5 months) my ligament had attached back to my leg incorrectly. Anyway I have now done 4 months of solid physio and it's just ended. I feel about 85% back.
