Paranoid or Not.
Hi Everyone,
Just feel like a bit of a vent today. For the last couple of weeks have had sore shoulders. Thought I'd just over stretched. But pain killers weren't working. So off to the Dr I went. She suggested Physio which I had twice. Trouble is laying on my front for an hour did nothing for my Mastectomy site it feels like it's bruised now.
Anyway long story short after 2 weeks it is just as bad so went back to the Dr this morning. She still feels it is Muscular but as it really hurts when I take a deep breath or cough she has decided to send me for a CT scan. Which to be honest is what I wanted.
But now I am home and appointment made for Monday I am thinking that I am being Paranoid.
Hope you are doing OK
Jan xxxx

- @Janny54 so glad it was nothing sinister!!
- Not so much incapacitaed @arpie just fed up with feeling uncomfortable. I can't stand for longer then say 10 mins.
Its been school holidays so have had our Grandchildren on and off. Fank gawd Hubby retired in June. He has been a star.
Xxx - WOW! Just as well you had the CT scan, eh? Good on you for sticking to your guns on this one. The good thing is that you now have a 'recent comparison' for any future ones too! ;)
Hmmmm ... so technically - you should have had a back ache, not a shoulder pain?? Weird how things pan out!!
I hope you are not incapacitated by the fracture .... all the best for your ongoing treatment xx - I know @Afraser. I think the Dr thought I was mad when I said Thank goodness for that.
Thank you iserbrown. Hopefully it won't take too long to heal.
Xx - Pleased to read you now know what was causing the discomfort.
Best wishes - Isn't it weird how you can be pleased about a fracture?? It 's just in comparison to what really scared you! Hope it eases up soon and the scan is reassuring too. I walked about with a fractured arm once for over a week - should have known given the bruise, and I did know I had had a fall, but that was in the days when I didn't check things! Best wishes.
- Well had the scan saw the Dr. Apparently I have a fracture in my 5th Vertabre. Dunno how it happened. Haven't fallen over. So now to get a Bone Density scan next week to check for Osteoporosis. At least I know why the pain. Lungs, heart all good. Which is what I was soo scared about. Xxxx
- Yes. But only very briefly. You'll be OK. K xox
- Ladies is the CT scan the one that they inject you and you feel like you have peed. Have just had an Anxiety moment.
Xxx
