Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Arm With Underarm Odor After Fracture In Pelvis And Shoulder Injury
Hello. My husband fell from a roof and suffered a fractured pelvis and a shoulder injury. Since the accident, he is unable to lift his arm due to pain & has constant under arm odor from the injured arm, despite frequent showers & deodorant. What could cause this to occur?

I do not think that bad odor and fracture are co related. First i would advice your husband to get Mri of shoulder joint o check that he has not sustained rotator cuff tear of shoulder. If his shoulder has no injury on MRi that his movements will soon be back. If MRI shows rotator cuff tear than he may need opinion of orthopaedic surgeon for further management.
