How to Search on Connect - It can help you!

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Dec 14, 2018

Do you know about Connect's Search function? I find it really helpful when I want to find a discussion about a symptom that I have and want to connect with other members with similar health problems.

Have you tried it? If not, I would recommend giving it a test run. It's easy, just click the small magnifying glass icon at the top of the window next to the little notifications bell.

Has it helped you? Let others know!

Not sure this is the place for this question, but I just had cervical fusion surgery a week ago(10/4/24). I was given a “bone stimulator” to wear 4 hours a day, for 6-9 months. It is supposed to stimulate bone growth to heal the area. My bones are still soft. Has anyone ever used this and if so did you find it worked? And also, why aren’t these things prescribed to heal our soft bones??

Welcome to Mayo Connect. I see you posted under Search Connect, so I did a search on 'gain weight" and came up with this discussion in "Digestive Help" group where members have talked about this subject.
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/need-to-gain-weight/
You might want to post your question as a comment in that discussion.

Also, here is an article from Mayo Clinic with suggestions:

Have you talked to your provider about problem to make sure there is not an underlying medical condition?
