Shoulder pain- am I being silly.

I’m really in two minds of what to do.

last night out of the blue I had sudden sharp shoulder pain. It is all over my shoulder and is now a little down my arm. It took me by surprise and was very painful. I called 111 as am between 5-6 weeks pregnant. Spoke to an out of hours gp who got me an appointment. He told me not to worry and that it isn’t ectopic as I have no cramping no bleeding and no pressure. To just go home and take paraceptomol. Well it’s been around 7 hours since we got home and I am still in pain. It doesn’t feel muscular and I have never had this in other pregnancies. I said to dp that I think I want to call epu and he has said that the doctors were not worried at all and I need to not worry. Just not sure what to do. Has anyone else experienced this.

Have spoken to epu, triage is gonna call me in next couple hours. The person on the phone did not seem happy with what gp said really hoping it’s nothing.

I bet!! He cannot say there’s no way without a scan! What an idiotic man!

Wow I'm shocked at that GP and I think you should report him, personally. Hoping you have a good outcome 🤞
