Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I hit my shoulder in something about a week ago. The pain is only getting worse. It feels like I got punched in the arm. I am taking 800mg ibuprofen every 8 hours and it isn t working anymore. Just wanting to know why the pain would keep getting worse?
