General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears that she has either the dislocation of the shoulder, or a hair line fracture, causing pressure on the bracheal plexus.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, diclofenac, paracetamol,calcium,and multivitamin supplements,and ofloxacin.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till you get relief.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
