Suggest Remedy For Pain In Arm After Injury
I fell on my butt while roller skating and used my hands/arms to break the fall. I m stiff (understandable) when I squat - but my right hand/arm took a lot of the force and my upper arm is really painful and hard to lift out from my side. I have moved my arm all around and know everything is where it should be - just wondering if I pulled a muscle or tendon or something? And wondering the best way to progress without having to go to the ER or something. I got back up and finished skating 4 miles - just want the best advice to try to heal on my own please.

if you were able to skate 4 miles after your fall it should be presumed that you are without any grievous bony or soft tissue injury.things should be fine with application of ice pack where it hurts the most .OTC NSAIDS for pain like ibuprofen
