Help! Really bad period and shoulder pain

[Chillyegg]

I am in excruciating pain. I started with terrible shoulder and kneck pain on Thursday morning. Then also my period in the same day. I havnt had a period in a few months and have completely come of hormonal contraception because it was really effecting my mental health. So this is my first one that’s completely “natural”. I’m in excruciating pain. Paracetomal and ibruprophen do not touch the pain. The shoulder and kneck pain is awful. How the deck can I make this better. Hot water bottles don’t help the tablets don’t help and the flow is ridiculously heavy and dark. I’m considering calling in sick!

Are you sure this isn't an ectopic pregnancy? Shoulder pain is an indication of ectopic. If there's any possibility you could be pregnant you need to go to A and E straight away

Yes this doesn't sound normal. You should probably get checked out.

My first thought was ectopic as well.

I think you should get checked out x

Ectopic pregnancy?

I'm thinking eptopic too. I'd go to A and E.

Please go to A&E, shoulder tip pain is a sign of ectopic pregnancy

Please get checked out now, this evening type of now.
It's possibly an ectopic pregnancy and not a time to delay treatment.

I did a ph test last week that was negative though?

It might not detect an ectopic. Please go now, just to be safe.

Please fo to hospital and get yourself better, have you got someone who can drive you.

Look at this list.

If you're period is on time a HPT wouldn't have been positive last week. Please do go and get looked at - heavy dark loss and shoulder tip pain are both big indicators of an ectopic.

I agree with the others, A&E now. Unless you are feeling breathless, faint or dizzy, in which case 999 for an ambulance.

Those are the symptoms I had when I had a Sphlenic Infart.

Whatever it is I think you should go to A & E

I’ll book a doctors appointment in the morning . Dd is in bed and boyfriend has had 3 beers. I’m worried now I thought it was just two separate things.

Hope you are on your way to A&E

Came on to day ectopic pregnancy. My mother had one in my teens, exact symptoms. Had to call an ambulance as she was in so much pain- she got to hospital and was opened up just as her Fallopian tube was about to rupture- potentially life threatening.

Get yourself to A&E.

Was also going to post about referred shoulder pain. Hopefully it's just muscular, but don't chance it if you feel unwell

Please don't leave it!

OP this is not something to wait on, if ectopic it could kill you.

A&E now .

It's rare that everyone on a MN thread agrees that you should go to A&E.

When this happens:
Go to A&E
Go straight to A&E.

Best of luck.

Don't wait until tomorrow. You need proper assessment. Go to A&E or at least call 111. Do it now.

Poor op! I guess as this is Unusual for you, you had better go.

For me shoulder and neck pain is common with my periods it's the bain of my life in fact!
