Suggest Treatment For Restricted Movement And Pain In The Shoulder
My son plays football and recently he was running the football and a linebacker hit his right shoulder with his helmet. He has been having issues raising his arm, in front of him and across his body. It has gotten a little better with anti inflammatory and pain meds but now it s stalled out on the healing.

dear sir/ madam
since your son has a history of injury, most likely he has injured his rotator cuff,
i wouldlike to examine him for any local tenderness, give rest to his arm ,give a arm sling pouch, ice pack , for a week, and then after a week do some manuevers to test rotator cuff,
and then start physiothearpy to the shoulder
