What Is The Treatment For Pain And Swelling In Mid Arm?

Were does it hurt when you have a rotary cuff tear in the arm. My husband fell 2 weeks ago, the shoulder feels fine, but the mid arm hurt and a lump is there. We had it xray and it showed no brake in the shoulder. We have been putting ice and heat alternating.and giving him ibproten. What else should we do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion if it is a contusion it will resolve with the foments ,ibuprofen , physiotherapy , massaging with a topical gel containing muscle relaxants ,anti edematous drugs for the swelling , arm sling , elevation of the hand would help if the lump didnt resolve within 10 days i recommend MRI for proper evaluation and management which if showed a complete tear to the muscle .
.which may need endoscopic or minor surgical intervention, which i think in your case wouldnt need such interventions .
