Today I went to see the GP (Dr McSincere) and I have finally decided to do something about following up the problems I am having with my right shoulder and right ankle. It's really hard when you have a chronic pain condition to know which areas of pain are just fibro and which are actually Injuries. My right shoulder has been extremely painful for many months and I have finally come to the conclusion that I must have hurt it. Any time I reach back (like to put on my seat belt or to reach around to get a glass from the bedside table) I get stabbing and long lasting pain at the point of my shoulder... It isn't just fibro... So I'm off for an ultrasound and a couple of x-rays.
After the doctor I met TLOML at the beach and for the first time this season we braved the stingers and went for a swim! Naturally this followed a check with The Nurse about how many stings there have been lately and where they occurred. It was lovely! Here is a picture of the tiny Irukandji that can cause so many problems for anyone unlucky enough to be stung.
Back home I finished off another paper for University and then here I am... writing to you...
Illness and Injury
Neither is fair
But luckily for me I have the pair!
Hope you can sort your shoulder out.
ReplyDeleteThose little Irukandji are tiny... but I bet they pack a punch well above their weight 8-(
Sorry about the shoulder. You don't realize how much you use it until you hurt it! How can such a cute little animal cause so many issues?
