Ok, Hivers I finally made the trip to the Docs I’ve been putting off for a while. My Shoulder has been playing up for a few months now. I initially thought it was muscular, then maybe Joint pain, but it’s been getting slowly worse so obviously a bit more sinister. I made an appointment, Joys of the NHS, last week, and it was off to the local doc this morning.
After a good old check-up, the diagnosis is I have a frozen shoulder. That’s the easy bit. It may get worse before it gets better but it should sort itself out in 18 months to a couple of years yikes! Not exactly happy with that. So is there anything we can do to help it along? So after a bit of a chat, we decided on a steroid injection for now. But it’s not exactly simple as it’s a deep injection and it does nip a bit and there is the potential for it to cause more issues than it resolves.
Anyway, I left the surgery in need of a bit of cheering up and made my way straight to my favorite coffee shop, the Wholesome Hippo.
It’s amazing how a bit of comfort food can make you feel better
Cortado and a nice sticky slice of Lemon Cake were the perfect pick me up. The shoulder is still rather sore but I left with a spring in my step that only a sugar rush and a caffeine hit can produce fingers crossed it’s not going to be a couple of years before this shoulder gets sorted. At least it hasn’t taken them that long to sort out how to make a decent Cortado the last few have been just about perfect.
