[QUOTE="alanj, post: 2654758, member: 27549"] Hi Jaywak As for the pain they gave me a nerve block injection which took care of the pain for 24 hours approx. The worst part is trying to find a comfortable position when I am lying down in bed. They gave me co-codamol and I have naproxen which I have been using. If I was you I would see your GP about some extra pain killers. I was also given some leaflets about some exercises to do. What I have found while doing the exercise is that my arm becomes numb similar to the nerve block injection. If you decide with your GP or consultant to have it done just a warning to look out for that happened to me when I came out of surgery and I was in the recovery room, I felt my body was trying to tell me something this went on for a couple of hours, for some unknown reason i decided to test my glucose levels only to find that I was heading towards hyperglycemia I automatically reached for my insulin but had trouble with the needle because my arm was numb I asked one of the nurses for help and was told they couldn't. eventually a doctor came she went in and out of the room then she decided to help I set the pen up with the amount of units needed and she continued to inject when I realised she was turning the end of the pen I asked her to take it out, I had a look she had turned the end to 14 units.
