Did the doctor say what might have caused the nerve to be pinched?
Hi Julia i havent seen one yet. I phoned my local surgery and gave them my symptoms. They told me that someone would phone me back that day, i waited until nearly 7pm that evening and no one didπ
It seems to have got worse now. It basically starts in my neck area, runs down my left arm and then to my left thumb. I havent been able to sleep as the pain gets worse at night and i have been researching it myself online and have only been able to speak to a pharmacist in Boots and they confirmed it. I cant even sleep with any of my ladies for a hug, because i have to be careful how i sleep and where i put my left arm, they are most distraught about itπ I've never not had one of them in my sack for a cuddle, ever since i got Coco 2 years ago now.
The ironic thing is my girls actually aid my sleep, and i was grouchy to them last night as the pain was so bad. Ive tried heat, ice, ibuprofen, even codeine tablets that are ment to be strong, and actually are designed to target pain receptors in the body, but they made no difference.
Heat and ice seem to ease the pain for around half an hour, and the problem is its not always in the same area, sometimes in the neck, or shoulder, then sometimes in the arm, sometimes dull throbbing, other times accute pain.
Then after that it comes back, the pain so it doesn't give me anytime to fall asleep, yes to sleep now i have to lay a certain way, so my neck and spine are properly aligned to relieve stress to my left arm a
Im pretty annoyed too, because i was going to do some Ai for a surprise Birthday for Coco on the 28th and havent even started yet. I just don't have the motivation, or concentration, basically im peed off!
Also i was so bad on Sunday i just couldn't attend my Nephews Birthday lunch. I'd rather have tooth ache than this pain!
I phoned the Doctor surgery again this morning and complained. Hopefully I'm on the urgent list to phone back now. They just phoned 2pm appointment today. Ill let you know what happens
