This zinger of pain makes me cry out. Any ideas?

Good morning everyone how lovely and truly supportive are you all? Such genuine kindness touches me. Thank you.

Wythenshawe hospital have just rung me. I have a scan appointment there at noon. I promise to update you all later.

Himself nipped down to the pharmacy below us at 8am and got my tablets.

As Marydoll said, the wait for results can bring the time there to between 4 and 6 hours. Results given on discharge. 🤞 it’s not a clot and we can fly tomorrow! As Himself just said ‘let’s just hope you’re okay that’s the main thing’. True of course.

I had this when I was having chemo. The hospital gave me an injection just in case I had a clot but when the test came back in the morning it was negative.
I think they are being over cautious and I really hope it is nothing.

I had was tested, same as FT, for a possible clot in my lung. I had chest pain and breathlessness and was sent straight to hospital by a trainee GP. I think it is standard procedure, it has happened twice.
I had to wait in hospital for the results (four hours) and was not allowed to go home until the results came back.
I am clinging to the thought that they would not have allowed FGT to go home if they thought she was at seriousrisk. 🤞

Fingers crossed for you. At least you're being taken very seriously very quickly and being thoroughly tested.

Just read this.Thinking of you and hoping it’s costocondriatis ,I get it and it’s very painful.🤞🥰

Best wishes for today FGT.

Just caught up, very best wishes for today

Thanks for the update. So pleased you were seen promptly and keep us updated. Do hope you can still go away tomorrow

Only just seen this Fgt hoping all goes well today x

Thanks for the update. Scary for you but good to see the nhs responding so quickly. Fingers x it’s muscular skeletal though that involves pain x

Sounds like shingles to me -only a doctor can diagnose it .
Please get it treated as early as possible as it is so painful if not treated quickly .

Hope all goes well today.

🤞

FGT....lots of healing thoughts( and prayers) heading northwards for you. X

Wythenshawe will sort you out. They’re an excellent hospital for those sort of conditions. Let’s hope it isn’t a clot anyway.
Good luck tomorrow

Crikey FGT wasn’t expecting to read that in your update- I’d feel similar to how you’re feeling now- but the good thing is that the medics have been v thorough, and worse case scenario is treatable and can be sorted.
🤞🏻crossed though that it just muscular so you can still go to your happy place and not worry. Hope you can get some sleep tonight. xx

I feel scared. Then calm.

I think they’ve got to infirm you of the worst scenarios these days FGT2 as you’ll probably remember with Himself?
I’m very impressed you’ve been so promptly, but hope you get some test tonight and get your answers tomorrow. X

Hope you get your best outcome tomorrow FGT2

Take care

Oh crumbs FGT fingers crossed for the latter 🤞xx

Been thinking about you. Thanks for the update. Don’t worry too much . All the best

Well, DH spent a night in hospital on monitors a few years ago, with a suspected heart attack.
That proved to be shingles.

The doctor said the test that wasn’t back from their lab was a D-Dimer. Would be high if it’s a clot. So basically neither they nor I know tonight. All the pharmacies were shut so I couldn’t get the prescription for blood thinner. I’m trying not to worry. The doctor said ‘if it’s not a blood clot it’s probably musculoskeletal-skeletal’.

I’ll hang onto that thought later while I’m trying to sleep.

Good job you got in so quickly FGT. fingers crossed for you.

Thinking of you and hope you get a prompt diagnosis tomorrow.

Thank goodness you didn’t delay getting an appointment, FGT.Try not to worry. They’re on it now.
