Hiya
I went to see doc again as he asked "If it didnt get better" ha ha ha! yeah right!!! with my right shoulder because I think I have OA in that as well.... And surprise surprise because I am having a THR and have a "dicky heart" and having a scan for that (Oh things just get bettter and better). My "LOCUM" doctor says I should wait and get the other things sorted first, YEAH OK. BUT, when I have my THR I will probs be lyeing on my RIGHT Side and will have a epidural (thats the BAD shoulder that I Cant sleep on) because its my left hip that I will be having the op on. OH WHY IS EVERYTHING SOOOO TOOOOO MUUUCH FOR THE DOCTORS TO UNDERSTAND.
I know what I am rambling about I hope that your understand my ramblings.....

Hi Denise
Well what can I say! another useless Dr. I thought they would have some understanding of patients problems but I get the feeling I'm wrong. How about trying a different Dr. I know it means going through it all again but surely they can come up with something to help with your pain even if it's cream instead of pills. Would a nice soft pillow under your shoulder be any help?
Hope you can get something sorted out.
Love

Hi
Sorry, it sometimes hard to see just what GPs are thinking about. I hope everything gets sorted out for you quickly. Just sending you lots of love and best wishes. Sue0 -
Hi, just want to send you lots of hugs and good wishes, Ive had a number of delays for my THR, the last on I was actually in the admissions ward and they found I had a water infection and sent me home
took me a couple of weeks to get over. I know of countless other people who have all sorts of health problems and they seem to be able to get their op no probs, maybe theyre being ultra cautious! But I know how frustrating it is, the docs dont have to live with the pain, maybe if they did they would understand more. take care jk
