The other shoulder..........

How are you doing Jim???

i hear it's still a little chilly over your way

Does the cold make your Pain worse....like ache more I mean

Morning Jim. Yes I've thought that. Sometimes I think my GP doesn't know what else to do for me!!! I'm like a burden!! Who knows!

Is your pain bad all the time? Did you see your doctor yet?

not sure about the cold making things worse , i am not to bad as long as i dont do any suddden movements or overreach , later today i am having cortizone injections , cant wait lol on a different note i just been outside to watch the solar eclipse we are having here , not a full one but about 97%

your not a burden , your just looking for an answer like most on here , pain for me is steadily getting worse though its not all of the time yet like my last other shoulder was , hope to get it sorted before it gets that bad , i am having cortizone injections , cant wait lol gotta see doc later today . its an eclipse here now maybe its a sign lol

Good Luck flying your way ( a long way at that ).......for your cortisone injection......hope it gives you some relief 🙏

i know what you mean about sudden movements....deadly...huh??

Thinking of you while you have your injection 😘❌❌❌

Sometimes I feel like it though. Just going in and moaning about the pain. I do think they feel at a loss of what to do with this. I wonder if anyone else feels like that?

Do the injections work for you? You should ask for something else too.

It went really quite dark. So cool!! I love things like that. Amazing phenomenon.

Let us know how you are after your injections and how you got on.x

hi , i did have injections in my right shoulder but it never worked , so im not that hopefull that this will work either , hope im wrong cos i dont really want to have surgery again

Oh no you poor thing.....I find getting that towel up and over to dry your back can be a real OWIE sometimes. As of next Friday after surgery I'm in a sling for 6 weeks 😩......then I will be truly totally useless. Not allowed to use that arm at all. Interesting to see how hard getting dried after the shower will be then.......lol, I might have to use a hairdryer to dry myself with my one good arm. Gold luck with your injection Luvvy, I'm off to bed, but I will check how you went tomorrow 😘❌❌❌

So how did you go with your injection?? It's probably too early to tell yet I suppose. I was thinking of you all day long. It's the beginning of a new day here but the end of your probably not so nice day there. Gosh I hope you get some relief with it 😀

Morning !!!!!! Did you manage to sleep well?

Is that message for Jim? He hasn't been on since a lot earlier.

I will be going to bed soon. Sometimes I get back up and come down between 3-5 am.

So a yummy breakfast and shopping for you. Is it beautifully sunny?! Xxx

Morning lovely......YEP it does look like a nice day. Had a bit of a sleep in this morning, just heading out for brekky at our fav little cafe, having Nutella french toast this morning 😀, Been thinking about it all day yesterday.

yep I was just checking how Jim went with his injection. Got to go now. Hope you get some sleep tonight.....sweet dreams my lovely 😘❌❌❌

Hiya blossom......how was your night? Did you get any restful sleep? At least no school dash today being Saturday....hope you can take it easy 😊

im sitting with a heat bag perched on my shoulder, it's been very achy today, but it is a little cooler here today, don't know if that is affecting it.......grrrrrr, OVER IT!!!!!!

They have just shown us your eclipse on the news 😊

JIM........Are you ok?

 havnt seen you on since your injection....hope all is well 🙏🙏🙏🙏

i had the injections , nothing has changed yet though , still painful if i move it out of the safety zone if you no what i mean , it never worked on my other shoulder so im not very hopefull with this one . i think the doctors are just delaying the inevitable :-(

Oh dear....that's not the news we were all hoping for you 😩. I remember them telling me when I had my injections sometimes it takes up to a week to work. Was it a ultra sound guided injection or did they just whack it in?

Must admit did absolutely nothing for me, but didn't know at the time I had a torn rotator cuff, so it was never going to help that anyway.

i know exactly what you mean by "safety zone" my elbow dosnt leave my hip, unless I forget and do something stupid then pay BIG TIME with pain 😩

maybe your right , it might take a while to work but im not that hopeful, i feel like im a sort of medical guinea pig , and they just try anything thats cheap lol. " safety zone" unfortunately i slip out of it at least once a day. and its always something stupid like dropping something and reflexing to catch it or whatever. oh hell are we all turning into a bunch of moaning old gits lol.

Lol.......but that's just it. I know EXACTLY what your talking about, cause I do exactly the same thing and feel the same pain for doing it.....people that don't have what we have might think we are a bunch of moaning old gits

( lol....love your English expressions ) but we know exactly what each other goes through on a day to day basis. And I'm thankful that I can unload to you, or Mel or Amanda or Alison and know that you understand ME like I understand YOU 😘❌❌❌❌❌

i feel like  a rose between thorns lol all you female F/S sufferers outnumber us poor guys lol OMG i just realised maybe im turning into a woman .

on a more serious note , i just had a shower and when i tried to reach under my arm with the soap "left to right" i could barely reach without the pain , i guess all on here must have similar problems ?

Your not turning into a woman, you just have the balls to admit you are human and suffering pain 😜

On that more serious note YES.....it's getting more painful for me to reach bad arm across body to put deodorant under other arm or to take left arm across body to scratch right shoulder....agony. Jim are you sure you don't have a rotator cuff tear??

i dont know exactly whats wrong yet , i have only seen my doctor and the physio , not had an xray or scan yet , gotta wait untill the doctor oks it first , then like last i will have a scan probably , the NHS  is in a mess here queues queues queues

Gosh your medical system sounds crook 😩

i put up with mine for a few months and had the 2 steroid injections a month apart but when it seemed to be getting worse I went to my GP and told her I wanted an X-ray and ultra sound, she gave me the referral and I went and had it next day. Then I asked for a referral to orthopaedic specialist and got an appointment the following week, but he couldn't fit me in for surgery for 5 weeks but I asked if I could go on a cancellation list in case something came up sooner and fortunately it did and they moved me up 2 weeks earlier. Maybe our health system is a little better than yours....mind you it's not great and I am in private. My surgery is costing me about $2000 australian dollars out of pocket the rest is covered by medical and I'm only going into day surgery

the health service here is just overloaded i think , because its free and the uk is open to most of europe we are deluged with foreiners wanting frree treatment, and this government we have keeps on cutting the finances of the NHS  , so i guess ile have to wait :-( 

haha the way you say things lol crook lol made me laugh

just tried to reply you and it wont let me

something about being sent to moderator

Try to do it again. I will wait another 5 mins then I'm off to dreamtime....it's just hit midnight here 😀 try again now

It told me it has been sent to moderator because there has been something in it like a link or swearing or something like that. It said the moderator looks at it and usually forwards it the next day. Maybe you were bagging your medical system and they didn't like it...lol...who knows. Anyways I should get it tomoz.....nighty night 😘❌❌❌

Well we are here for you Jim, we are all going through this together buddy 😊. It's waaaay past my bed time 12.26am to be precise and I'm off to the land of nod on this side of the world....so nighty night 😊❌❌❌

i never added a link or swore , not sure why it did it , not important anyway , ok kerri goodnight , try and get a good nights kip , PAIN FREE .

Hi Jim. Been trying to get on here all bloody day!! I'm just pleased I'm here now. I was trying to ask you how you were, after yesterday. Let you know that you were being thought about.

I've read what you said earlier. Is there any change yet?

You've had a nightmare with it too?? What happened?!

Lol. Just read this. Could really get into it, but would most definitely be banned!!

Nhs has completely got priorities screwed up. For all sorts of reasons. Politics. Hence, people like our good selves are left behind!!!

banned ? not sure what you mean ,

I mean banned from this site if I say too much regarding the political side to everything. The comment you made yesterday about the nhs etc. I could have really gone for it in my reply.

i think the worsed thing about it is the waiting , had injections on friday and was told to go back to docs in a month , if they dont work she said she would refer to the hospital , so god knows how long this could go on for :-(

Yes it is ridiculous. Like there's no consistency. If you've loads of money or if you're from elsewhere, you're sorted. If not then forget it. SO WRONG!!!!!!

it appears so many on here are desperate for answers but not getting any

Your system certainly dosnt sound very fair unfortunately.......our public system can have lengthy waits for hospital beds.....but it's not a problem to get X-rays, scans etc.

Im in private so I probably fo get things a little quicker as far as hospital is concerned.....but I'm still out of pocket even with private cover
