Bit of a poor me post. GP gave me a steroid shot into my shoulder today. I felt pretty blase about it, thought it would be no big deal. Not had one before.
The shot itself was pretty much ok, a couple of points were a bit ick but I've had much worse stuff in life. The exam before hand was very ow. After he'd done it he said it hadn't gone as smoothly as he'd hoped. Looked at my shoulder movements again and decided to book me in for an ultrasound in case theres a large tear.
I'd walked up, the walk back was horrid. Arm started really aching. Felt sick. Had to stop off and buy a chocolate bar cos was worried was going fainty. what a woose I am!
I can barely move it now. Painful and restricted. He did warn me but I thought 'pah, I'll take some anti-inflamms and I'll be fine'.
Worst of it is, dh has gone away for a week this afternoon (hence my moan here) and I've got a flaming meeting here tonight so I can't just have a bath and go to sleep.
moan over.
