Elbow Injury, Shoulders Subluxated Normally, Painful, Bruised. What Is Wrong?

Hi
I was about to do a pull up on the pull up bar in my doorframe. As I started to pull up, the bar broke and I fell backwards onto kitchen tiles - landing on both my elbows! I have shoulders that are subluxated normally (which sometimes causes some pain) but now my shoulders are painful and I get a sharp pain as I move them also my elbow appears to be starting to bruise.

It looks that you had a recent injury.It looks from your details that there may be a soft tissue injury at your shoulder.This may be a tendon injury also.There are no. of tendon & muscles around shoulder ,there are chances that they may be injured.You should do following to have relief in this-

-At least have a x ray of your shoulder,this will be able to rule out any minor bone injury.

-Keep your limb in pouch arm sling.This will keep your shoulder in relaxed position.

-Do ice fomentation at shoulder as well as at elbow.

-Consult to an orthopedic specialist.
