Me again.
My poor mum’s been in and out of sleep for 7 days now. Intense pain in her left shoulder, arm, leg. Her stroke side is her right which is pain-free.
We’ve had 2 GPs out, blood test (only concern is vit D3 deficiency), and paramedics in last 48 hours. It’s bank holiday so have no access to stroke doctors. But the outcome of all assessments is that her vitals are fine and use morphine - but she’s still in agony whenever she wakes up.
It might be a pinched nerve…
It’s extremely worrying and I’m torn between causing mum more discomfort with another GP visit or rerurn to hospital for investigations (who will make her wait for hours in an ambulance/ A&E). Or to let her sleep/ stay in pain until Tuesday when her own GP, OT and physio are back at work.
I appreciate no one here can offer medical advice but I’m at a loss and have no one to talk to about it.
I suggest Red Light Therapy (RLT, LLLT, PBM). The UK won’t tell you about this, everyone’s too stuck up, but I will. You’ll have to research it ; I’m currently looking at a little talk on it https://youtu.be/qtv4UAkRzUA
but there are 1000s of stories to illustrate my point. There’s too much evidence to ignore it. It helps nerves. Let her sleep. Good luck, Roland
I bought this
a few days ago, and it has already opened up my meibomian glands
Could she be lying on it awkwardly? If she’s been checked over then it may just be a case of pain relief & a bit of time which will hopefully see it ease. If you’re very concerned you could try 111 for advice before taking her to A&E.
Hope it eases for her soon.

Hi @EMG72
If You have had two lots of call out It’s unlikely a third will say anything different.
Sleep is generally good
I guess that appropriate relief starts by understanding is the pain postural, is it muscular /joints or is it the burning freezing of neurological causes etc.
Is there anything around the time of onset that might give clues as to its cause. Did it grow over time in either area or intensity or just start instantaneously?
Some detective thinking might lead to some clues or further experiments that will suggest a path

Quick update - my mum is back on hospital with aspiration pneumonia 
so that’s probably been the cause of her intense fatigue.
Sorry to hear the roller coaster has most bumps for you all
Good that they’ve found the cause and are dealing with.
aspiration pneumonia is common for us
Let’s is know how things go
Sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed when she is better that the fatigue has lifted a lot too.
There’s definitely lots of bumps in the recovery road.
Best wishes
