What Causes Swelling In Shoulder Of A Child After A Fall?
Good day! My 14 month old son fell of the bed for 3 weeks ago. We have been to several X-rays and they didn t find any broken bone. I am just wondering why He is not using his right hand until now after the fall. I noticed that he have a little swelling around the shoulder and the veins are very visible. He can use his grip and stretch his arms but whenever we try to lift his right arm, he is screaming in pain. Is there maybe a problem with the muscle? i hope you could really help us. Thanks in advance!

It has been three weeks and still he is having pain on movement... Also you have noticed swelling... Ideally you should go for mri to rule out any minor crack and /or ligament tear or dislocation...
