Update on “aching arm and cold hand” - (and fractured shoulder)

I now have an appointment at a Vascular Clinic in July…BUT events have overtaken me…10 days ago I tripped on a toy car and fell on a wooden floor! I have a fractured shoulder on the same side as the problem arm which is bruised and swollen. I have a follow up appointment with a consultant next week. One thing I’m pleased about is that I had gone up to 3MG Pred. (After finding 1.5 too low) and with the trauma of falling, my PMR didn’t flare. i’m getting plenty of rest, which probably helps!
