Breathing/shoulder pain

Nansypansy

My you are going through it. I am pleased your doctor gave you an answer so quickly, very reassuring.

Fingers crossed tonight will be more comfortable for you.

Hope you have a better night tonight!

That's good - glad you were able to get an appointment and some reassurance. I hope you have a more restful night tonight.

Sleep well tonight

That's good news, nansy.

Good to hear you're fine nansy, take care x

Thanks so much for your concern my Gransnet friends. I did go to the drs. and he examined me thoroughly but couldn't find anything amiss. Lungs clear, no evidence of PE etc. there's a slight possibility it was an added side effect of BCG bladder cancer immunotherapy treatment I had at the end of last week. However I am feeling much better now thank goodness - middle of the night fears aren't nice when you're on your own.

What news nansy? Hope things have eased a bit -it always seems worse at night whatever the problem, doesn't it?

Lots of things it could be, some very simple, some needing treatment. Off to the docs for you I think.

Did you consult 111 in the night? Were they helpful?

I had same type of pain but in the left side, saw GP and was referred immediately for an x-ray as GP had heard crackles in the base of the lung. Always sensible to get it checked out, as we get older we don't bounce back so quickly.

Let us know how things go today, Nansy? Please don't ignore the pain, even if it subsides a bit? Make GP appointment this morning, and if you can't get one, phone 111 for advice?

I cannot and do not want to diagnose on line but you should see a doctor.

Definitely see a doctor. Could be one of so many things you must get checked over.

Yes I think it would be a good idea to try 111. They do refer you to a nurse and if they recommend that you see a doc it means you are more likely to get an appointment with your GP.

My heart goes out to you Nansy. I'm learning to live on my own after 44 years of marriage - and it sure ain't easy.

Let us know how you get on.

Definitely go and see your GP, I had similar pain and it was pleurisy. Better to check it out.

That sounds a bit worrying, Nansypansy. I don't have any medical knowledge, so can't advise but wonder if it'd be an idea to phone 111 for advice.
If you don't do that, definitely get a GP appointment asap.
