Attended st johns hospital A and E livingston, got assessed and x-rays, but told had ligament damage to my shoulder. I felt it pop out when I fell.
I pushed it back in myself when doc asked me to raise my arm the pain was excruciating. The doctor told me to go home and I may / may not get phone call to attend some orthopedic clinic at a later date, my shoulder has popped out 4 times since then and I pushed it back in myself each time but pain is excruciating.
Seems consultant can't see me until end of December, i'm in so much pain every time my shoulder pops. I thought I could have been seen before the end of December. I feel so anxious and stressed, now off work due to this shoulder injury.
Can anyone help me please?
