What Causes Severe Pain In The Arm While Stretching?

I am a 53 hr old female, probably sprain my arm lifting a case of water about 3 weeks ago pain never went away. Now about 5 days ago I lifted something else heavy and now the pain is constant. I can not reach or fully extend my arm without wrenching it, and now I believe that I have fever in it. What should I do?

Hello,

I think you should go to ER or consult with orthopedic specialist as soon as possible in order to rule out possible fractures (broken bones) of the arm. Avoid movement until you see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
