help, my shoulder just popped, am in agony dont know what to do

[misdee]

have gp's appt at 3pm already, will they be able to deal with it then as well?

am in tears and feeling sick, it hurts so much.

go to A&E?

appt is to chat about pregnancy and get booked in with midwives.

can you deal with the pain for over 2 hours?

what do you mean popped?

If you have dislocated it you need to get to A&E asap

it felt like it popped, hard to explain. i think may have twisted it or soemthing. dont think its dislocated or anything. just agony.

Go to A and E!

GO TO A&E - unlikely your GP will be able to deal with a dislocated shoulder - they'll just send you up to A&E anyway.

if you mean dislocated it's an a&e job!

are your shoulders even, can you still move your arm?

can move arms, it hurts but can move them. dh says shoulders look the same. its more like under the shoulderblade than the shoulder. am hoping its not another lot of muscle spasms, i usually get them in my neck, and its similar to that pain. a+e wont be able to do anything if it is, not sure i can take the usual anti-inflamorties, so think i will take some paracetamol and see what gp says.

i get muscle spasms too, very painful!

no ibuprofen for you, but paracetamol is good, gp may give you some stronger codiene based painkiller.

heat patches are quite good too

dh is out, i have all 3 dd's here with me.

try to rest it then!

i went back to bed for a bit with a heat pad resting on my back lo.. woke up and it still feels achey but not that horrible sicky ache it had before. docs said to carry on with heat and paracetamol.
