I have been having some shoulder pain for about 6 weeks now and finally got to the point where things were just getting worse, went to the doctor on Monday (Bone and Joint dr.) and he ordered a MRI with contrast this past Fri. But my next time to see him for the results and reading is not until the 17th. I have been debating for the past two days since it's the weekend weather or not to go to the acute er or not. I am having some really bad headaches in the back of my head. (Not one to bring me to tear, but enough to keep me in bed.) My shoulder is still really hurting bad, and the left side of my neck (same side of the painful shoulder) is bothering me as well. Can someone give me there opinon? To er or not to er? I have been taking Ibroufen for the pain but it only seems to dull it a bit. Looking at the dr.'s orders for the MRI with contrast that I done, he was wanting it checked for a Laberal Tear or anything else that looked off. Thanks.
