Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression + AC Joint Excision
I am due to go in for Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression + AC Joint Excision at the end of August. I know there is one old post on the forum (back from 2014) but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this surgery and if they can provide any insight into the operation, discomfort and recovery period.

I am in my 20s and due to past problems my teeth are rotted away but I cant afford dental care?
I dont know where else to go for advice as i want to remain anonymous for obvious embarrassing reasons. I live in the Uk and as I was growing up I didnt go to the dentist much I guess my mum just never remembered to book appointments for me.

Hairdressers putting prices up?
I messaged my hairdresser who told me my regular service would now be £55 instead of £40, as she’s put her prices up. I find a nearly 40 % increase a lot, it smacks of profiteering off the back of covid & how desperate everyone is to book in. The basic materials haven’t risen. I know there was a long period of no income,…

Dry/Wet Cut
Sorry if I sound thick. Booked in to get my hair cut for tomorrow. They said it would be a wet cut as no dry cuts allowed. Why is this? What’s the difference? Do I need to wash my hair before going or will they be doing that?

Who's now ditching the hairdresser?
With lockdown and lots of people looking at how to cut their own hair and doing it, how many of you now realise they now don't need to be paying a hairdresser to to do it and are stopping going to the hairdressers and doing it themselves? Its made me realise I could easily cut my own hair as I normally only have a trim…

First Time Trying Hair Foils
I am hoping to try and colour my wife's hair using the Hair Foils technique. I've done it using the cap over the lockdown, which has been successful on the whole. My question is regarding the development time. When using the cap the colour can be applied very quickly and at the same time as all the hair is there ready.…

Endodontist treatment on NHS
I went to see my dentist last week as I was suffering from tooth pain and it turns out I have an infection in a tooth for which I previously received root canal treatment (many years ago).

Tesco Pharmacy no longer ordering perscriptions?
For some years I have had my regular monthly perscription ordered from my GP by Tesco Pharmacy. I then collect from them after receiving a text message. This month I didn't receive a text message but I knew my medication should be ready, so I asked husband to collect when he went there. He was told that I couldn't order…

Hi everyone, my friend is an apprentice hairdresser who is not yet qualified. She operates in a salon but also does styles from her home; although I’m not sure wether she should be doing it from home as she is still an apprentice and I’m not sure wether her insurance would cover her if she isn’t in a salon/under…

Bamboo toothbrushes - are they any good and/or really sustainable?
I prefer an ordinary, non-motorised toothbrush thus have been the disposable, plastic sort for the last thirty-something years. Recently someone bought me a packet of two recyclable bamboo toothbrushes from Aldi. The packet states they are made of ethically grown, sustainable bamboo. I assume this applies only to the…

I’ve not come across them before but their prices are amazing. I’m after Estée Lauder Modern Muse and it’s half the price of anywhere else. Which makes me suspicious lol. Has anyone used them before ? The Trustpilot reviews are very mixed with people either loving them or saying their stuff is fake.

Dental surgery and the NHS. Does this sound right to you?
Hi My mum has asked me for a £5k to pay for dental surgery. She's told me a gum issue has led to a calcium build up in her arteries and chest pains. She has maxed out her credit cards doing a number of procedures/surgeries privately. Now lockdown is over, she needs to continue but has no money to do so. I have no job so…
