I have had a sore shoulder for about three weeks now. The pain has been getting worse and my movement more limited as time has gone on. I finally went to see a GP today and he diagnosed a frozen shoulder. He prescribed a pill called Naproxen, some gel to try if that doesn't work and some gentle exercises.
The pills seem to be working but they have been very harsh on my stomach - giving me indigestion and heartburn. Hopefully my shoulder will be back to normal soon!
I used the automated on line service to book my GP appointment - I selected a Thursday or Friday for the preferred days. The appointment came through for a Wednesday - which I thought was odd, but I dutifully went along at the correct time. I tried to book in on the machine but was told to see a receptionist. She told me I didn't have an appointment until Friday even though I assured her the email had told me Wednesday. I showed her the email on my phone as she clearly thought the mistake was mine! She admitted it was their fault and squeezed me in with a GP - no apology though! Next time I will ring for an appointment!
