El, sorry you're in such pain you can't do housework, surely? Hot bath? Muscle relaxant gel?

elantan

your right Kc I cant do housework, cant even clean myself when i go to the toilet so there is no chance of being able to do housework, dont know who on earth i was trying to kid ...

Phoned the Dr for an appointment, was told there are none, then asked what was wrong so I told her ( normally I wouldnt, but today the pain is unbareable) she then suggested A&E I replied I have not been in an accident and this isnt exactly an emergency, I am sure the Dr can deal with my issue, finally got an appointment for 5.30pm, hope the dr can do something about it

I could kiss my Dr, went tonight in total agony, straight away he hit the sore bit and asked if that was it, yep I replied he then showed me the wall chart and explained what was happening then got me to turn over jag in the bum and a prescription for painkillers.

Yes I am still sore, I didnt expect to be instantly pain free but the pain is manageable, I actually have the TENS machine turned off now, its been on constantly since the pain started.

I can now bear the pain that I am in and I know it will ease through time.

Thanks Tilly, will do, I have to rest my shoulder till it settles and if it isnt better by next week i have to go back for a shoulder injection, I have had this pain before and landed up in A&E with it and been given the opposite advice, this time however it was an older Dr that had much more experience ( last time I think it was a FY1 ... so a studentish Dr)

I cant get over how he hit it straight away, and knew exactly what to do, I didnt expect the jag in the bum but by then I didnt care if he took a chain saw to my shoulder I just wanted the pain gone

Gonna rest now ready for my day out tomorrow with Skinty and Beanie ... Beanie were coming up tae see ya

Good God! I think I might have gone for A&E, El - but it just shows you, you hung on and got a brilliant doctor who understood completely - I'm glad to hear it. Glad you won't be missing out on your day with skinty and beanie too :j:j:j

Have a wonderful time!

Honestly Beanie I feel so good right now... about 75% of the pain is gone, I can handle the pain that is left no problem ... and I can move my arm without screaming the place down so I am fine

Havnt caught up with you in ages so it will be great to catch up again

I think now that I have done a few shifts in A&E I kinda got a feeling of how it wouldve went down tbh... This wasnt my usual Dr today, it was his uncle, a Dr that retired oh mustve been 20 years or so ago, lovely friendly old style Dr ... Left me wishing he hadnt retired

Looking forward to catching up with Skinty and Beanie tomorrow, I am at the end of my first week off of uni placement and I am determined to atleast do some fun things, need to catch up with Mg as well and see if she is up for a visit then if my feet and arm have recovered ( and they are both looking good for it) a wee hill with Skinty where she drags my sorry arsed carcass up a hill and gets a giggle at my moaning style we discussed Goatfell last time ... this time it might be Elfell :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway I am much happier so feel human again and able to get back on top of things... Mr El thinks he has found a finance program for the computer that might help ( he mustve been thinking about it)

Onwards and Upwards :T:T
