Has anyone used CBD oil to help relieve symptoms for issues with the esophagus? I have hypercontractile esophagus which causes chest pain that mimics a heart attack. I have tried the conventional...
It's been a while since I've posted. Just want to update how I am doing. I am still having chest pains, pain and burning at the top of the stomach where the esophagus meets it. I also still have the...
Check out the Nissen Fundoplication page on facebook. It might be really helpful for you....
I've been dealing with bursitis of the hip for the past 7-8 years. I have only had 1 injection, but was too long ago that I don't remember how well it worked or how long it took to get relief. I can...
Had my follow-up with GI on 9/14. The pH testing showed no acid in stomach when off the PPI and when on the PPI. When I was originally tested prior to NF, the mobility testing showed I have...
I had my Bravo implant for a 96 hour pH test done on September 1. Prior to placing the implant, my GI scoped down as far as he could go and noted on the preliminary report that my wrap appeared...
So went to hospital at 9:30 this morning for the Bravo 96 hour pH implant. So far I don't feel that it is in there. Doctor scoped all the the way to check things. He noted in the initial report that...
I was back to feeling normal by my 6 weeks post surgery. Some say it takes them about a year to feel normal, but everyone is different in their recovery. Check with your doctor/surgeon after surgery...
I am almost 3 years post NF. I have been able to burp since the day after surgery, but am not able to throw up. I eat almost anything. I was on a liquid diet for the first 2 weeks, then soft foods...
I haven't had a redo, but had my NF done in August 2014. Worked wonderfully until October 2016 when my symptoms came back. Had endoscopy and barium swallow, both of which showed my wrap is intact. I...
Glad to hear that you are proceeding with the endoscopy. As Susie said, do what your doctor told you regarding your PPI....
The Nissen Fundoplication group on facebook is wonderful. Thank you smlafleur for that information....
I am feeling better, the pain is gone....
Talked to her when she was over on Friday. She has an appointment with a neurologist in September (I guess this is the earliest she could get in) so that is a positive thing....
Susie, thanks for the suggestion on making an outdoor cushion. I haven't had time to look for anything yet. Posted about DIL on my thread in the epilepsy forum, but I as of right now I haven't heard...
Susie, She works in a pharmacy so she has looked up side effects and interactions of the meds she takes and has talked to the pharmacist. She is still having episodes of forgetting how to do things...
Thanks Susie. I'll have to get something....
I have had several endoscopies with sedation. You will not be aware of the actual procedure but will remember bits and pieces of before and after. You will not be out long (I am usually out for 30-45...
JUST AN UPDATE...so the pain was easing up considerably which was great. However, this past Sunday, I was outside sitting on the ground while hubby was tilling the garden. Didn't feel anything when I...
Susie, Still have the pain but not as bad as it was. Been taking ibuprofen and soaking in hot tub. I have my 6 month checkup (my doctor likes to see me every 6 months) in a couple of days, so if...
Karen, Thank you for your response. Will research the conditions you mentioned. As for shoes, I never let them get worn and I always buy ones with the most support....
Trina, Thanks!...
Susie, Saw DIL yesterday. She agrees that she needs to see a neurologist so hopefully she'll get an appointment soon. Her speech is better, but not back to normal, she still has trouble remembering...
Yesterday I was weeding around the trees in our yard. I was sitting on the ground as I was doing this. I noticed after finishing the 5th tree, when I stood up I had severe pain in my lower left back...
Just came across this thread. I had a breakout of guttate psoriasis a couple of years ago after being prescribed Amoxicillian for a bacterial infection. Saw a dermatologist who determined it was...
Susie, thanks so much for your thoughts. I sent her a text about an hour ago telling her again that I think she needs to see a neurologist. There was suggestions that maybe some of her medications...
Susie, that's what it feels like right now....
Susie, I already see 2 ortho doctors in one practice. One is back only (he did 2 of my mom's back fusions and monitors my DDD) and one is elbow/wrist/shoulder only (I have problems with all 3 areas)....
Susie, I saw your response about my DIL and I thank you. I stopped working in May 2005 due to other health issues, but I also noticed a decrease in the frequency of my headaches. They started...
I believe that I may have a meniscus tear in my left knee. I had one in my right knee repaired back in 1984 which probably started in 1978. It's been so long that I don't remember all the symptoms I...
I was seen by a neurologist back in 1999 or 2000 because of severe headaches. Since I didn't have classic migraine symptoms, cluster headache symptoms or tension headache symptoms I was diagnosed...
Well, her EEG results showed nothing. I told her I still feel that she needs to see a neurologist. Something is going on to cause this. She says she has some memory loss since June 16. Hopefully she...
Saw my GI yesterday. He says no more medicines he can put me on. He still maintains that my wrap is fine based on barium swallow (done in November 2016) and endoscopy (done in January 2017). He wants...
Susie I told them she needed to see a neurologist and to have her doctor refer her to one. But I don't know if she asked or if her doctor will refer her after the EEG. Thank you for your response....
On June 16, my son rushed my daughter-in-law to the ER thinking she might have had a seizure. This is what they told me happened. She was lying in bed on her back when all of a sudden her arm when...
I had Nissen Fundoplication (NF) with hiatal hernia repair in August 2014. In October 2016 my symptoms returned. My story from January 2014 to present... My symptoms were heartburn, chest pain,...
Catspaw, I had my wrap done in August 2014. I got a cough approximately 1 week post surgery. It lasted about 1 month then disappeared completely. I hope your surgery has long term success for you....
I had Nissen Fundoplication in August 2014. After surgery, I was already feeling relief from symptoms. By 6 weeks post surgery, I was back to normal activity and eating. I was still careful to avoid...
Sharon, Through research I have discovered that about 10% of people who have had NF will need to have a re-do due to the wrap slipping, coming undone or loosening. There are some people who do have...
Just wanted to vent and see if anyone has any opinions. I had Nissen Fundoplication (NF) in August 2014. I was symptom free until October 2016. Since then I have been to see the surgeon who did the...
