What Causes Difficulty To Extend Arm After An Injury?
Bone injury not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain during the movement of the arm is a normal finding after such an injury. It is usually due to muscle sprain and soreness. If you can touch your other shoulder after folding the arm and there is no considerable swelling in the shoulder area then any bone injury or dislocation is not likely.
You can avoid doing any overhead movements and give rest to the arms. In case there is a sudden acute pain on a specific movement then a ligament tear needs to be ruled out after an MRI scan.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
