  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I’m sorry you are worried about your eye and can understand you wanting to find out more.

    It's possible that you have an eye infection. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so we would advise you to make an appointment see your GP to get checked out. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can prescribe medications or arrange tests if necessary to try to find out what might be going on. Do also let them know if the paracetamol is not managing your shoulder pain.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over.. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
