While me and my boyfriend were heading home and older lady slipped with her sandle shoe on the steps of the bus and fell and hurt herself when she was trying to get on. But apparently there is a thing with the bus service of if someone gets injured in contact with a bus they have to wait for the person to be checked out and have the rtd people come and adress the situation before they can go. So the bus driver said he'd flag down the next bus to pick us up and kept apologizing for the inconvenience, but the injured woman was right there...idk. Then some fire truck people and paramedics came and dealt with her. Idk they took her out on a stretcher so does seem like she really did hurt her leg. But while they were taking her out one of the parmedics asked if any of us were filming and I said no and shook my head, cause idk it never occured to me people would film someone having to get on an ambulance. so like it took me a second to realize what the paramedic was asking cause it was so weird I was like 'of course not, who would do that' even so that poor older lady covered up her face the whole time because she was afraid of being embarrassed online, but like do people really film stuff like that? like I never once thought about filming that womans ordeal without permission like wtf? Yeah it sucks the bus route for me and my boyfriend got delayed but I didn't want that old lady to think we were all like filming her to get her doxed for getting hurt and inconveniencing people. LIke yeah it was inconvenient but that lady probably did not mean to hurt herself and I am sure she wasn't planning to go to the hospital for an injured limb today so idk it's just no ones fault but sucks for everyone. But yeah she was afraid of like people filming her so she covered up her face with her hand and a cup of ice water while they were putting her in the ambulance so no one could put her face on getting in an amubulance, but none of us were filming we were all just waiting for the next bus to come. Idk I just feel sad for that woman that she thinks people would like film her getting hurt so much she like hid her face behind a gas station fountain drink and her hand even after I told the paramedic that asked 'of course we're not filming her, like who does that?' cause yeah I legit cant figure who would do that so yeah I felt a little insulted being asked that because like...of course not, why would I film a poor old lady slipping on a bus step and injuuring her leg.

Before that though before the fire truck and ambulance showed up, she was asking for ice in the meantime....and idk people just kept giving her dumb looks and walking off so I was getting a little like 'really no one can juust get her some ice Idk I was just about to go in to get it, but my boyfriend went in to get some first then another person who was talking to her came in to also get ice and my boyfriend somehow realized she was going for the same reazon so just gave her the ice to take back out to the woman. I juust like none of us were trying to film her but she was so worried about being filmed she put her hands over her face till she got in the ambulance, like idk she was probably embarrassed for falling and it causing a whole thing. but like none of us were trying to film her like yeah we were all a bit mildly inconvenianced but none of us were being so heartless to film that poor womans ordeal. Its juust concerning to me that she was worried about that...like wtf sometimes people get hurt so why was she so embarrassed about it...

Which like whatever, but none of us were filming we just had to wait for the next bus.

I have a weird ache in my right shoulder and down the arm. I'm scared in case it's a heart attack. I've had this pain before, a few years ago, so I'm hoping it's just nothing.

I don't have pains anywhere else, only down my right arm, and they come and go. They're dull aches. I had trouble swallowing water earlier but no trouble with swallowing food. I have a healthy appetite and an active job. I don't see much reason why I'd have a heart attack really, as I don't smoke or drink alcohol at all, and there's no history of heart attacks in my family. I'm not obese, just a little overweight because I like my food.

There's a mosquito bite on my right arm, although I'm not allergic to mosquito bites and I get bitten by them every summer without any issues.

I really don't want to go to the doctors, I'm just hoping it'll go. It's 3am but I'm scared to sleep in case I never wake up.

Tamaya, it's more often seen that pain down the left side (could be the jaw, neck, shoulder and/or arm) is more indicative of potential heart issues than the right. If it persists, though, a visit to the doctor could be a good idea.

Thank you for your concern.
Whenever I read about pains in arms from heart attacks it keeps changing - one minute it says it's the left arm that is more likely to hurt with a heart attack, the next minute it's the right arm. I always thought it was the left arm though.

I don't feel any other symptoms, only this dull ache in my right arm. I'm not quite sure what sort of pain one is supposed to have in the arm with a heart attack. Is it shooting pains? Or what? Because these aren't shooting pains.
There's no pain in my chest and I'm breathing fine. I shouldn't have a heart attack, as I'm 35, never smoked, don't drink alcohol, am not obese, don't have heart failure problems in the family, and don't have any underlying health conditions that could lead to a heart attack. I've recently had a pill check and the doctor is happy with my blood pressure. So I'm fine.

I woke up alive and the ache has lessened a bit now. Maybe it was a trapped nerve or something?

I've got used to sleeping in a sitting up position since the injury

I've found that if I'm fully supported with cushions and pillows it is as comfortable as lying down and my sleep is unbroken as well

The challenge was to make it so I don't slide down and out of position but I've sorted that out now by putting a big pillow under my knees

I mean I'll probably go back to lying down after all this has cleared up but for now I'm quite ok as I am

HEALING vibes I was meant to say. Next time I make a spelling mistake, do correct me lol. :) I'm very good at spelling and I get embarrassed when I make a mistake. But I guess we can all make mistakes sometimes even in things we are good at.

I do know the different spellings but I just wasn't thinking as I wrote it. :lol:

I'm not normally a perfectionist but when it comes to writing I am. :lol:
