How Can Shoulder Injury Be Treated?

I fell on my shoulder and heard a crunch. That was a week and a half ago. Now I have a bruise on my outer bicep as well as my inner elbow both on my left arm. I am also having trouble sleeping because my arm hurts. But the pain goes away when I am sitting or standing. But immediately comes back when I lay down.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be a contusion.

As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. It is better to consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out ligament or tendon injury.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
