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!

Call 111 they will advise if you can wait for a gp in the morning or if you need more immediate help.

I agree, go to A&E. You can die from an eptopic and the shoulder pain is a real red flag.

Go to A&E. It could be ectopic. My friend's ruptured, she could have died, its not something you put off. She had no idea she was pregnant either, she got the bad shoulder pain too.

Another vote for A&E

The morning?? Get a taxi or a friend to drive you

Please go to a&e tonight, don't wait until morning. An ectopic pregnancy can kill you.

Please go to hospital. An ectopic pregnancy cannot wait until morning.

At least ring 111, op. Ask for professional advice - then follow it.

Another one agreeing with previous poster and saying please go and get checked out tonight.

Please don't wait. The NHS will not turn you away for a possible ectopic, they didn't with me, & my symptoms were much less obvious. Go now.

Another voice saying 111 or A&E. If it's an ectopic, and it really sounds like it could be, you need seeing ASAP.

I would call 111 and see what they say. Ectopic pregnancy can be dangerous and hormone levels can be too low to show on tests.

You can't wait until morning sorry. Ectopic pregnancy is very serious and life threatening.

At the very least call 111 now.

OP don’t wait -
Call a taxi and get to the A&E now - is there a friend or family close by who can help you ? At the very least call 111

Please at the very least call 111

How are you OP, have you called for medical help.

Another one here to say please don't wait until morning! Although hopefully you won't read this as you'll have already gone and got checked out.

Hope you're ok ChillyEgg

You need to get seen. Shoulder pain is a massive warning sign.

Just to echo everyone else, my immediate thought just on seeing your title was ectopic pregnancy.

Please get seen tonight.

Another one saying ectopic. These are classic symptoms, especially the shoulder pain.

Hope you have gone to A&E op

Please do go to A and E. Get a taxi if your partner can't drive you.

Have you gone yet?

Years ago there was a similar thread where it did turn out the op had an ectopic pregnancy. Please don't wait until morning it might be too late

Please go, if it is ectopic then it can be life threatening if left.

Hopefully the silence means OP has gone!
