Where do you draw the line between "go to the GP about it" or "tank the damage"? (feddit.uk)

I waited a year for a shoulder injury to go. Turns out it was massive diabetes and now I've got nerve and eye damage at 41.

Be careful everyone!

    Genuinely curious, how did diabetes caused your shoulder pain, was it nerve damage? When I caught the 'beetus I just could not stop peeing, I never had any pain anywhere.

    I'm a programmer and gamer, my right shoulder spends quite a lot of time tensed up (apparently) and I had started doing weights and bench presses after a few years off. It started not very painful, despite no incidents I assumed I'd torn something so gave the weights a rest. Seems not moving it was the worst thing to do, after a few months I'd have to do a savage click to free it up and that was getting harder and not painful.

    Doc sent me to physio, physio said to get bloods. Nurse called me up after bloods to come in and get meds asap. Never heard a nurse sound panicky like that.

    Now my dick don't work, Right eye don't work and AI took my job 😀
