Hello! Long story short i woke up yesterday with a really really sore shoulder but like the bottom right shoulder blade and it looks as though it's lower than the other shoulder. Didn't think too much of it just thought I must have slept funny or something like that.

I went to work and asked one of the nurses and they said it feels different than the other and it doesn't look right when I move it it's almost like it's pushing on something and now it's absolute agony.

I can't lift anything with my hand it's got no strength in it and i can't get it comfortable. It's awful I'm sat in bed feeling sick with it.

I'm getting out of a bad relationship and I move out next week but I have woken my partner and told him and he's told me to go back to sleep, not a care at all. I've said please look I think it's out of place and he's literally shrugged and said what do you expect me to to do lie down then!

I'm literally sobbing in bed I woke him gently and really nicely to explain and make sure I'm not startling him and he can understand me ect and he's not arsed but that was expected. I don't drive or anything like that either so I was just wanting him to have a look or a feel and let me know if he could take me to the hospital or if I should get a taxi if he agrees with me that I'm not being a drama queen

With corona going on I don't want to make my little thing take up time and resources and upset any nurses or doctors bc of how under pressure everyone is at the moment.

It doesn't look right, it doesn't feel like a trapped nerve or anything like that but if it was dislocated I would be screaming in agony, it's more bottom right shoulder blade but the pain is all down my shoulder I can't move my wrists and it looks like the bone is in a different place.

I feel pathetic I've googled it but no use.

Sorry if this is long winded I'm probably looking for a hand hold and wonder if anyone's had it before and what I should do.

Tia sorry it's long

If it’s that painful then go up to A&E and stop worrying about what the knob you are sharing your bed with thinks . Hopefully they can at least get you some decent pain relief .

Oh im sorry your ex is being such a shit. That sounds very painful. What did the nurses say you should do? Do painkillers help at all? Is there a walk in centre you can go to in the morning? If not then it does sound like you should go to a and e to have it looked at Flowers

Are you pregnant?

Leopardprintcurtains · 28/06/2020 02:05

It could be tortocullis which is a spasm in the muscles there. I had it once and it was awful. See your ooh or a and e

Jenda · 28/06/2020 02:05

Also I know a couple of people who have been to a and e recently and both have said it was quiet and they were seen to very quickly

marshmelllow · 28/06/2020 02:06

@Floralnomad I think I'm gonna jump down in a taxi once I've calmed down!

@Jenda they didn't say anything to me about pain relief or what it looks like, I work in care and a nurse was in and she just told me that it doesn't look right but was then swept off of her feet and didn't want to pester her!

@raspran I am not pregnant no x

You don’t need to wait until you’ve calmed down , go now and get it looked at . Hope you feel better later .

alexdgr8 · 28/06/2020 02:09

why don't you ring 111.
forget about your ex. actually i can see he might not be too invested in giving you his attention at this time.
you are moving out. pity you have to share the same bed. i can see why he might not like that. and why did you not ask him about your shoulder before he went to bed. anyway that doesn't matter.
ring 111. take advice from the right source. your ex really isn't it.

Dislocated at work?

Amiable · 28/06/2020 05:48

If you haven't already, go to A&E. I had to go 2 weeks ago for a medical condition I have and it was actually really quiet! There has been a lot of news about people not going when they should have and having further problems.

Hope you get it sorted and are on the mend soon.

How are you this morning @marshmelllow.
