Thanks for the tips, will look in to the kettle one as have been struggling and fill it via a lighter measuring jug but still difficult to pour, even before this shoulder issue. Will try the pillow one. Already sleep with one between my knees to help my hips, no idea what I do with it while I'm asleep though as it never seems to be there when I wake up!
I do hope they don't stop it, I have asked for more as and when needed and it is great stuff!
The appointment was very frustrating as there was a language barrier and I just didn't get to discuss things I needed to properly and it felt like a bit of a waste of an appointment. I did try to ask about my shoulder but got nowhere, save having mentioned it then nearly jumping off the bed when she pulled my arm up when testing my joints.
It is more comfortable now, I've been resting it and doing some very light controlled movement and using pain gel and heat so will see how it goes over the weekend. Hoping some good rest will help generally, been a tough week.
