Both big toe nails are quite painful - not that sharp pain you get when they're ingrown, but a deep, throbbing pain from the centre of the nail itself - and I've got a lot of thin slivers of peeling skin all over the soles. Also, a big chunk of skin fell off the top of one of the little toes, and the patch left is too raw for comfort. What do we think - Long Covid? Necrotising fasciitis IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there's been a lot of minging foot issues lately. They think it may have to do with sedentary WFH lifestyles. Peeling skin, chillblains, toenail issues etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'd no idea the foot thing could actually have been covid! Thankfully, there's no discoloration; I think it might be something to do it being bloody cold at the moment, and there's a draught coming in under the skirting where my desk is. Pair of slippers required. Or amputation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just hit a patch of black ice while running. I didn’t break the bar of chocolate in my back pocket, but I think I’ve broken my arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Anyone on here had/have a inguinal hernia? Had it a few years ago and pushed it back in which seemed to have sorted it but after a pretty intense exercise routine in January it’s resurfaced and won’t go away at all. Doc has referred me to the hospital but I can only imagine the wait to be seen will be heavy lengthy at this time. Seems manageable with basic painkillers throughout the day but just wondering if anyone’s been under the knife for it as the doc said they’ll go in and plug it up with some mesh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will cost about twenty quid but will make a big difference until surgery. The repair is a straightforward procedure that shouldn't cause you any issues. 6 months isn’t too bad to be honest. it’s manageable for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a straightforward repair procedure, normally done as a day-case under a short general anaesthetic. If you're fit and well you'll sail through it, no bother. As @Tynierose says, there's a wait at the moment. Depending on where you are, it might be more than six months though as there is a large backlog of routine surgery building up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclizine Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Just now, Tynierose said: I was being nice with 6 months. Hopefully won't be too much longer. We have a 50 week urology wait at present, its hard going. It's extremely frustrating that we can't provide treatment in a timely manner. I think we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel though, theatre recovery plans are starting, but staff will need time to recover. Mass reorganisation just won't have the engagement from burnt out staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good friend of mine (probably my would-have-been best man tbh) got told by his consultant that he had "just a few weeks" to live having gone in with a nasty cough and some heartburn. Oesophageal cancer to a level beyond treatment. Can't begin to think how hard that would hit you, being told out of the blue that you will die within 3 months or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was told in August in 2020 he had cancer and was due to got for a PET scan at the Beatson Nov 20th,the transport came to pick him up but he was not well and asked them to call 999 or take him to Forth Valley Hospital they said not as he was breathing,but 2 hours later he died of a heart attack.Don't get me wrong he would probably not have survived even if he was in hospital but i wished he had that chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
