View 6 RepliesBowel Disorder :: Large Rectocele And A Large Rectum
I have just joined this forum, but been reading it for a while. I have had no surgery yet, don't even know if it will be offered, but am already suffering from many of the problems mentioned in this thread. I have a large rectocele and a large rectum. Consultant not sure what to do- proctogram inconclusive. Since I saw the consultant a couple of weeks ago, things seem to have got dramatically worse- needing more Movicol. Also tried a suppository today.Rectal pain and numbness. The consultant may examine me under anaesthetic. I also have another problem which is complicating everything- venous insufficiency- like varicose veins- have to wear compression stockings all the time and elevate my feet as much as possible. I am convinced it was caused by straining on the loo, so from what you are all saying, there is no guarantee that surgery would prevent straining.I just don't know what to do. Surgery sounds so risky, but I can't live like this. I could try Peristeen I suppose, if they thought it suitable for me. Might also try the Milk of magnesia if I can get my hands on it.
View 7 RepliesEye Care :: Large IOL Available For Large Pupils?
I apparently have very large pupils. I had cataract surgery, and the first lens created unmanageable halos, starbursts and ghosting. A larger replacement IOL of 6.3MM optic diameter improved but did not remove these symptoms, and it does not stay in place. I have been told this is the largest lens available but have seen references to 'older' lenses as big as 7mm. My surgeon suggests stitching the existing lens in place. Are larger lenses available (I am in Canada) and should a larger lens be used?
View 1 RepliesDent In Arm - Fat/muscle Erosion?
I'm not entirely sure if this is in the right place, but for a good while now, there's been a bit of a 'dent' in my left arm. I can't take a picture because you can only really notice it when you feel it, but there's a definite dent in muscle or fat or something.
Oddly enough, it's the exact place where I used to rest my arm all the time against my desk, but I wouldn't have assumed it's possible for fat/muscle to erode away.

View 1 RepliesInwards Dent At My G-spot? Hypochondriac
So I was about to finger myself and when I felt my g spot it wasn't slightly hard like always. I know it might be because the g spot is in front of the bladder, (I just went to the bathroom before starting to masutbate) but I'm a hypochondriac and I worry about everything. It's a bit squishier and it just feels like it dented inwards a bit. It might go back to normal in a while because of the bladder thing.

I had a cortisone injection to a small cyst that was on my face for almost 2 months. It went down after a day. It has been a week and there is a small dent forming around where the shot was given.

View 6 RepliesSkull Injury / Dent By Cesarean (C-section) - Forceps Delivery
My sister has a depressed skull fracture or a dent as we say from her birth in UAE. She was born from a cesarean section with an unfortunate use of forceps. That left her a dent or depressed skull fracture at the skull vertex. It is visible on physical examination. But when we went to doctor, we had complained about poor balance , coordination and failed to draw light on this fact. The doctor could not study this by CT and MRI. That failed to study this dent. This may be owing to lack of detailing ie by reconstruction of CT scanning.
Throughout her life ,she has been suffering from Developmental coordination disorder /minimal brain damage, owing to this. She has recently an official diagnosis from UK.
Skin :: Dent In Thigh After Hitting Sharp Edge Of Table
Well back in January i accidentally hit the sharp edge of table with my thigh. It did not bleed at all, it did not hurt much either ( pain went away a few minutes after the hit thankfully) . It was a bit swollen and more red, no bleeding and it started to form bruise afterwards. Well now it is May, so 4 months after - bruise is going away but i can see that area where i hit the edge is not flat anymore. It actually has some indentation, dent in it ( not big, not much deep, rather superficial but very visible when i stand and on certain light). It also looks like it is still darkened, 4 months after, like bruise is still not completely gone. I think darkening somes from bruise still forming and not from shade of dent. Not sure
View 1 RepliesPolymyalgia Rheumatica :: Forehead Dent And Terrible Ache In Both Calves muscles
Seen my dr today. Had to get my bloods done as well. My gp didn't know anything about the dent in my forehead, she seen it and felt it. She asked did I fall, my reply was no. Steroids thin the skin, I know that. Also mentioned about a terrible ache in both calves muscles when I put trainers on and try to walk a couple of yards. She asked was the ache in both calves and I said yes, her reply was then it's not achilles. She is going to chase the rheumatologist up as I haven't seen one yet. It was endocrinology who made the referral to a Rheumatologist so gp is going to chase it up. I feel I am going it alone, other than this website, I would be totally lost. My gp is good she was off when I was going for pain relief and was still undiagnosed and then diagnosed by a locum dr. in the practice.
