Doctor On Demand provides Care from the Comfort of Your Home

“This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of Doctor On Demand, however all opinions are strictly my own.”

It was a wonderful holiday weekend, but my acute right shoulder pain put a damper on it. Recently I had heard about and installed the app for Doctor On Demand and this seemed like a great time to try it.

It’s very easy to use the app and I was asked to fill out some general information along with my current symptoms and any medication I might be taking. After that, a checklist appeared where I could check off any other issues that I might be having or any illnesses.

After a very short wait, Dr Tara greeted me. I used the video chat (you can use that or the audio chat). She was very pleasant and professional. She went over my history and we talked about my current injury. What was pretty cool was that I could show her the exact area of the pain and where it extended to. She was able to pinpoint the area and we got an idea of what was going on.

It seemed to be a shoulder strain and I asked and she explained to me the differences between a strain and a sprain and also when to use heat and when to use ice. It was very informative and helpful.

I’m taking her advice and my shoulder pain has eased up some. I’m alternating with heat and cold packs and continuing to take Ibuprophen for the inflammation.

I tend to use my right arm a great deal and, as a writer/blogger it gets an extra workout, but, I am trying to rest it whenever possible.

I’ll follow up with my primary if it continues and possibly get physical therapy.
