Has anyone had anything like this...as feel..cant go to drs again as seem to always be there....

shoulder been hurting due to sat in a draughty room but arm too, like pain but arm now feels like in a clamp or vice - is this normal i.e. am not having heart attack?!!

Hi Oneday
Stress causes al lsorts,if you have had such a bad day at work, maybe you really need to relax, a hot bath and curl up with some music or a book.
But please go and see your GP if this carrys on, I think quite alot of people worry about keep going to there GP....me being one of them.
Please let us know how you get on.
Sending you loads of hugs ((((((())))))

If you are able to sit there wondering what's wrong then it's not a stroke or amnesia. If it is your left arm that is hurting than that could - could - indicate a heart attack, or it could indicate indigestion - the two are often confused. If a draught has caused pain then take some painkillers or cuddle a hot water bottle. I always have a pashmina-type thing on me to protect against draughts, so stuff a big scarf in your handbag when you go out. It is difficult not to fret about new hurts - which just makes them worse anyway. Settle down in front of the telly with a lovely cuppa and try to drift away. Could it be hormonal? I've had some great absent-minded moments in the past few years! DD

ooh, thank you so much girls, was worrying myself sick there...the thing is because i sort of put up with things e.g. like i was very ill with appendicitis and thinking i am in agony but surely i must be half dead at least before getting it seen to!!...it now makes me think...say i am ignoring something serious like i have done before so now i i think it could be worst than it is.

i feel very wound up about various things at work. also kids back at school and routine of rushing about,packed lunches etc to sort out,feel worn out, then been in draughts and arm kills - which i was putting up with but i get to a limit with pain i.e. when its lasted for a certain length of time i cant stand it anymore..so as well as back problems and rsi this shoulder,neck and arm thing lasting so long made me feel overwhelmed with things.

p.s hope the computer issue wasnt hormonal. It wasnt as though i had forgotton password, it was i couldnt remeber where a key i use all the time had gone, then i couldnt see, as though everything was chinese or foregn to me. hoping pain is due to sitting in draughts,windows wide open etc.

Work stress isn't going to help, nor the return to the old routine of school runs etc etc etc. Give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Make sure you get some time to rest, even if it is sitting on a loo in the Ladies for half-an-hour. Blame constipation - no-one ever knows how to answer that excuse. That's why it's my favourite! DD

oneday

its nice and peaceful in works loo!

only thing about gp is.... the other thing i have posted( different thread) where one gp not happy i used community nurse service for my son so trying to keep low profile from vistting the gp!

Is your arm any better yet? It reminded me of the last serious attack I had, that was my arm too. No pain killers worked and my husband found me sobbing in front of the TV at 4am because I couldn't sit, lie or sleep with the pain. Then it went as suddenly as it started!

hi all

i do have rsi but current problem with shoulder,neck and arm i was putting down to being in draughts from open windows behind me.
I can feel shoulder like crunching at back,like the bones, plus it hurts, neck hurts a bit too and arm feeling like clamp, bit like when you are having your blood pressue taken and the strap goes tighter.
Now thinking is somethin on neck swelled and pressing on nerve or somethingg that made brain goes bit mad yesterday. I was just looking at keyboard and it was as though i didnt know the meaning of the letters!

Hi
I have managed to book doctors, a new one to practise. I dont want to see the one whos told me off for seeing community nurse about my son!. This typing isnt scrolling up so cant see what am typing, hope comes out ok. The thing with my brain was scary. can you describe your arm, mine got bit pins and needles too, i am falling to bits.

oneday

Been to docs and feel reassured.....
neck is good old arthur paying a 1st visit...must have travelled up from back, nice one!, shoulder is muscle pain....

weird keyboard malarky - need to go back if happens again as something she wouldnt want to ignore
so feel mentally much better
