Queen Has Rarely Fallen Sick In Her Reign
Updated: 9:19am UK, Saturday 02 March 2013
During her six decades as monarch, the 86-year-old Queen has rarely taken time out of her active schedule of public engagements because of ill health.
She has had occasional problems with her back. In October, she was forced to cancel an appearance at a Windsor Castle investiture ceremony, and she also had to miss a church service in Scotland a few days earlier.
In 2006, she suffered a strain to her back during her annual summer break at Balmoral which led to her cancelling a tour of Arsenal's new stadium.
A firm believer in homeopathy like her son the Prince of Wales, the Queen has often supplemented more conventional medical opinion with herbal remedies.
As a young woman, in January 1949, she caught measles and had to be separated from the newborn Charles.
The first time the Queen was admitted to hospital was in July 1982 when she had a wisdom tooth extracted at the exclusive King Edward VII Hospital in central London.
In March 1993, she was forced to cancel several engagements because she had the flu.
However, in the same month, she refused to cancel a visit to a handbag factory despite having had three stitches in her left hand after being bitten by one of her corgis.
In January 1994, she wore a plaster cast after breaking her left wrist when her horse tripped during a ride on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
The injury was not diagnosed until almost 24 hours later after she had remounted and ridden back to Sandringham unaware of the damage. Her wrist was X-rayed and set in plaster at a hospital in King's Lynn.
She was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in January 2003 for keyhole surgery on her injured right knee.
She had torn cartilage when she jarred the knee walking on rough ground during a private visit to Newmarket, Suffolk.
A 45-minute operation to remove the cartilage was a complete success and the Queen used a walking stick during convalescence when her official engagements were scaled down.
In December the same year, the Queen, then 77, returned to the King Edward VII for a similar operation on her left knee.
This time the damage appeared to be due to her advancing age or general wear and tear rather than a specific injury.
At the same time, surgeons removed minor - non-cancerous - lesions from her face in a double procedure lasting an hour and a quarter.
The Queen cancelled and postponed engagements but was fully active again in a few weeks.
