What Are The Symptoms Of A Dislocation Of The Shoulder?

I was holding an umbrella and slipped on wooden steps and went down. I hit my back and head and had immediate pain in my right arm. I became nauesaus, broke out in a sweat and thought I was going to pass out. For a few minutes my fingers felt numb. I went to the E.R. and they said there were no broken bones and that I would be sore for a few days and needed to use my arm to get rid of the soreness. At first to move my arm from my shoulder to elbow was excruciating pain that brought me to tears. I continue to try to move and am now able to move it some. However, in some directions the pain is still severe to move. It is a different kind pain than soreness. I plan to go to an orthopedic in the morning. My questions is...if there is a tear, break or dislocation will I make it worse by continuing to try to move. I know the E.R. said that there was no break. However, my gut tells me something is not right.

dear Sir I have understood your concern, see I will explain about symptoms of dislocation of shoulder joint, due to mal positions of shoulder joint the tissue around the shoulder capsule will be continuous in stretch so due to that severely intense pain will be felt and unable to do any joint movement and you will feel differently joint position may front to your shoulder joint. if you feel like that immediately go to consult orthopedic surgeon and relocate properly. after the tone is proper 2months start gradually strengthening exercises. I hope you have satisfied with the answer.
