Symptom narrative

Immediately upon injection I felt a lot of pain in and around injection site which was upper left shoulder (6/13/25). Upon returning home my left arm started to feel heavy and very sore from the shoulder down. I messaged the doctor to let her know via MyChart and she told me to go to the ED if symptoms worsened. I put ice on my shoulder and tried to rest it elevated. I also took ibuprofen. I had to physically lift my arm up to get it to move. The pain continued throughout the night and I was not able to sleep on my side due to the pain. The next day (06/14/25) the pain continued from the shoulder down my arm. I tried ice, ibuprofen, and rest again. It didn't really get worse, just didn't get any better. Same thing about not being able to sleep on my side that evening. On 06/15/25-06/17/25, I thought it felt slightly better, but I still needed to lift my arm up at times. On the evening of 06/17/25 I tried sleeping on my left side again but when I awoke the pain began again and lasted through the day on 6/18/25. I messaged the doctor again about the pain, but didn't get a response. After a restless sleep on 6/18/25 I awoke on 6/19/25 (the day I am writing this report) and made an appointment with the doctor because I was in a lot of pain throughout my left shoulder and arm. I also messaged her again explaining why I scheduled the appointment, but asked if there was any other ideas of what to do. She messaged me back and offered to send a referral to Orthopedic Surgery, which I accepted.
