After i made a complete numpty of myself crying:eek: but 6 weeks wait for x ray results:( and him telling me to go and sit in the waiting room and wait, i said what for?
He said results i said i have waited 6 weeks and if you think im going to sit there and wait you have another think comng ! I have to be at work, one phone call and he gets them:T
Bad news is osteoarthritis:(

Oh no bubbs I am sorry.

I had a feeling from what you have been saying it might be.

Just to say though, my consultant told me that with OA at first the joints try to repair themselves so some of that is the awful pain and once the bony spurs have grown you can get some respite until later years and he was right in my case. Hope maybe same for you. When I was first diagnosed I remember my shoulder freezing and not being able to use my arm but haven't had that for good 12 years now. The pain is much more localised for me now.

What has he given you for pain management? Do try heat packs when it's cold they give me a lot of relief if I am honest.

Also typing, i dont actually move my arm as position it right just to move my fingers

Might be worthwhile doing some research to see if diet would help?

I can definitely recommend acupuncture, I had it through the pain clinic for my neck and shoulders. I was a bit sceptical at first but was amazed at the difference it made. I thought I would be squeamish about it but because the needles were in my back and neck I didn't see them and didn't really feel them. In a strange way I quite enjoyed the sensation.:o

Evening
My one and only womble apart from one with 2 items on,pepsi max being one of them.

In my asda carpark today bushes being cut back and barriers being put in front of them.Not sure if this will help the wombling or not.

Heading towards my 1st £5 amazon gift card with the shopprize app.
I reckon I should be able to get about every 14 days.

You must make a mental note sal of when you first mentioned this, as 2 months down the line we'll all be wondering why no one said anything sooner:rotfl:

What's with all the maudling? We are always quieter in the summer as there are lots of people on holiday, so not as much time to post/shop (strange many of us have more time when working ).

I have had a busy month at work/with RL and have been away for the past week (you can guess where from my updates ) so haven't kept up as much, as I didn't want to read about all the glitches I couldn't participate in and get glitch/deal envy .

The thread suspension reminded everyone, whether posting or lurking, what we have here so I am sure there is nothing to worry about :A.

Happy Yorkshire Day :cool:.

I also picked up some jeggings, the swimming costume and the matching dress, the dress has to go back, I cant get it over my boobs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Are your jeggings a weird yellow colour on the inside sarah? :eek:

I didn't bother with the dresses knew they would be far too long, having to turn up the jeggings as it :rotfl: is but for £4.50. :money:

If you need a swimming costume/bikini I can recommend the Debenhams Gorgeous range, often 70% off especially this time of year. Please don't take it wrong way if you are not actually in it's size range. But it's aimed at normal sized bottoms with bigger tops.
