What Causes Severe Back And Shoulder Pain?

I recently fell down a couple of stairs while carrying my 37 lb baby on my left side. I didn t think much of it at the time except that I knew my knees would be sore. But my upper back around my shoulder blade up into my neck and down into my arm and the front of my shoulder. I have a appointment with my MD next week but was wondering what could be causing me such excruciating pain. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but this pain brings me to tears. Thanks

Hi,

There may be soft tissue injury or hairline fracture over vertebrae, which can only be diagnosed on xray of cervicodorsal spine in AP and Lateral view.

So get it done and send me the report.

Thanks,

Dr.CHANDER MOHAN SINGH.
