Pain In The Arm And Shoulder After Falling On Ice. Not Able To Move The Wrist. Why?
I fell on the ice. Right on my elbow. It has been a month now. I can't lift my arm because of the pain in my shoulder. I also have swelling below my shoulder and pain in two spots between my shoulder and elbow. My wrist also is painful when I move it. How can a blow to the elbow cause my whole arm to hurt? And what could be wrong

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The persistent pain even after a month of the injury could be due to a bone injury in the area or a bone bruise. You need to get an X-ray of the area done for proper diagnosis. Till then use a broad arm sling for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
