How To Check For Broken Bones After Getting Hit In Shoulder?
my son was playing 7 on 7 football, No pads just a helmet. He was hit in the coloarbone/shoulder. I think he is bruised pretty good, However What should I look for it it s broken? He can breath w/ no issues, a little tingle at the spot that got hit, No other systems he has shown.

Hi,
As what I understand from the history it appears to me as there is no fracture but on a safer note taking an x-ray should be good. if there is a fracture there will be acute pain and unbearable symptoms by breathing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
