Got to the bottom of things

[worriedmummy85]

I have had chest pain for 2 months and it been getting me down

So when i was doing my hair today I noticed I couldn't hold my pony tail anymore my arm was in pain and went i let it down the pressure and aching pain was unreal and soon after the breathlessness and chest pain started

So I gathered it had something to do with my shoulder I popped to see my gp who has said I have a frozen shoulder going for an x-ray to see I I can have a injection or just tablets

I have been back and forward for 2 months about this and been told it was my anxiety when it really hasn't been and now it's got so bad I can't do my hair properly

Glad I have found out tho

I'm so sorry you are in pain, but I'm so glad there was an explanation (and hopefully, a solution) to your problem!! That makes it easier to hope it'll be gone soon, and also hopefully less anxious about the things you think it MIGHT be.

Did the anxiety cause the frozen shoulder? Just wondering. Anxiety is to blame for all things on here. Even global warming :p

Yeah, it's really hard to know when something's anxiety, and when a symptom is genuinely being caused by something being up. Really does pay to stay calm and just be attentive, huh! It's good you had the intuition to put a few pieces together and get an answer.

When's your X-ray?

That a good question I have had the chest pain since my first panic attack where I was so tense my whole body went into involuntary shaking but I am lead to believe a frozen shoulder happens over time so maybe me being so tense has caused it to get worse who knows?

I have to wait for an appointnent because frozen shoulder is not urgent (it will be urgent when I can't do my hair for my nan's 80th on Saturday)
