Crash

[CJDorset]

I came off my bike a few weeks ago and landed on my left shoulder, i hit some old tram lines and it flung me off my bike. My left arm seemed to be a little better but at football yesterday i landed on it again and now it hurts again, not all the time just when i seem to be pulling doors open or lifting etc. any ideas? i will be going to GP when i can get an appointment, but wondered if anyone else has had anything similar.

Er, A&E?

Most likely a strain to the rotator cuff or AC joint. Worth a trip to the GP if it doesn't clear up. Shoulders take time to fix

I know we all have different judgement calls. But, personally that does sound like an emergency medical issue. So I would book an appointment with the GP.

Shoulders take a while to heal so 2 knocks wont do it any good.

Best to see GP asap.

I think a trip to the docs asap sounds like the best idea, hope it is ok and a wee bit of rest fixes it.

Appropriate use of Emergency Departments would cut attendance by something like 40%

i went to the GP apparently i've pulled my upper arm muscles. I work in a hospital so understand the pressures in A&E

 

[ewan87]

so how do you get over that cj? is it just rest or Dobson need to go see a specialist?

 

[CJDorset]

its rest a little and not do anything too strenuous with it but don't let it do nothing. stupid blooming tram lines!!
