Hi good morning all

Please can anyone help me with this question ?

I woke up with an almighty cramp or that what it feels like from my humures to my chest ( right side ) I must have stretched in my sleep which triggered it off, it does happen on certain movements or when I stretch. I've been having pain in this area for over 2 months it started off mildly only if I moved my arm a certain way it would hurt . But now I'm in constant pain and its getting worse I literally crouch up with the pain.

I've spoken to my gp several times but nothing has been done except take painkillers and can't get physio as the waiting list is 3/4 months.

Last night was so scary 😳 the pain was evil . Dont understand how it radiated to my left side of my chest?

Pain is also at the front of my collarbone down to my elbow. I'm at the end of my tether.

Can any one know what's causing this.

Thanks ❤️

Good morning Suffering21 , I’m sorry to hear that you are in such pain and that your Dr has not been much help.

None of us on this forum are Medically qualified to give advice. Since this pain is not going away, and the treatments you’ve tried so far are not working, I would phone 111 and ask for their advice.

I hope you can get help for this pain soon as it drags you down.

Good luck.

GP. 😊😊.

Thanks GP for taking the trouble to reply. I just wondered if anyone else has had this type of pain?

I've called 111 even ended up in A&E but thry just send you home with painkillers and say see your GP?

I spoke to my gp an hr ago asking for a X-ray or scan but she font think its necessary. Now prescribed me with ibuprofen.

🤔😏😩

Goodness! I think if it were me, and considering your other health problems, I would get in touch with the Practice Manager and complain that all the treatments you’ve tried are not working.

GP. 😊😊

If you are not happy with your relationship with your GP, and it is a relationship, then change. Ask around for advise about other GPs in the practice (to start with). I always look for someone with a sense of humour. All my good GPs have had a sense of humour. You want someone you feel comfortable with.

Try eating bananas, I’m not kidding as my husband suffered badly but read that they work and they did . Also yesterday I noticed loads of people saying the same on here as I think it can me a shortage of a common mineral such as magnesium. So give a few bananas a try 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Do hope they work
