Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had a similar issue when taking Amlodipine. I was changed to a Lisinopril and that sorted my lower leg swelling. Hopefully they can get it sorted for you.


Snap I had that with Amlodipine and got swapped with Lisinopril which sorted that

Next Friday :-O

I suppose the positive side of it is that they'd have been chasing him if the MRI had shown something that looked like it might be cancer.

You’d hope if it was super serious they’d have called him in sharpish

To quote the consultant we saw before the MRI "prostate cancer is slow growing so a delay won't make much difference"
But yes I'd like to think they would have been more proactive if it looked dodgy
