what does it feel like? how do you know whether or not it is a trapped nerve?
i started a few months back with a pain in my right shoulder, i hadnt lifted anything, i thought maybe i had lifted M funny, or slept on my arm, so i went to the Dr he prodded and poked then gave me some strong pain killers, that strong i also had to take anti-gastro tablets for it, the pain went in a few days and the tablets made me feel like poo. i thought nothing more of it. a bout 2 or 3 week ago the pain started again, i cant explain where it is, it kind of covers the whole of my shoulder but when i was at the Drs he said its actually my neck it hurts when i move my arm, lift my arm, even when i lift something up thats soo light, when i pick M up i use my left hand and always hold him on my left side, when i pick him up it sends a sharp pain in my neck/shoulder, it also hurts when i just sit and not move again its like a stabbing, sharp pain, and it also hurts when i breathe (not constant, msinly when i breathe in but mainly after ive been walking or been doing something..
ive taken some anti-inflammatory which my OH was given for a broken bone, they took away my p pains but not the pain in my neck/shoulder, i defo dont want to take the tablets the Dr gave me and tbh i cba going to the Drs to be fobbed off as per usual!

If you want a second opinion, phone your GP as soon as he shuts and you will be referred onto the after hours service. I actually like that service, it seems like a good standard to me, as most of them, I guess, are working their ticket to get a reference to become GP's in a practice. Most in our area are foreign, and mostly spanish.
i think i will see what its like over the weekend, and maybe on sunday call the 111... in my area all Drs are Polish or Asian, im far from racist but for once i would like to see a Dr that i can understand and most importantly one that can understand me, i forgot the last time i saw a Dr that wasnt foreign... it was a long time ago

i went to the Drs, he told me i have a very large knot in my shoulder causing the pain, he gave me the same pain killers as before but told me i need a massage, if after a massage and 2 weeks later its still there i may need massage therapy. He asked me 'have you been weight lifting?' HA, i told him the only lifting i do is putting my can of beans in the cupboard' LMFAO anyway my auntie is qualified in massage so shes gona give me one tonight then one at end of week and see how it goes.
this Dr i saw was so much better than the ones ive seen before, he was actually asking my questions rather than listening to what i say then gving me whatever prescription, he had me stand up so he could see what movements cause pain and he then flet around my shoulder and neck. he told me it is defo shoulder not neck and if this was sorted the first time i went to the Dr it would have been gone by now rather than worse!

Callie, have you tried acupuncture? From what you've said, I think that it could work for you. A few of my friends went that route and were very satisfied. And, some of the best doctors in the World are from Cuba!
no i dont like needles or anything and the thought of acupuncture makes me cringe. it is something i always wanted to try before i became so bothered about needles, idk, maybe ill look into it, dont knock it till you try it and all that
