Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Arms And Fingers Post A Fall
I was trying to sit down and landed pretty hard on my left hand I started to feel a piercing pain in my shoulder/upper arm. It s been two days, I can t lift my arm but I can move my shoulder and my lower arm. It s a bit difficult to move my fingers though. I also have to hold up my lower arm otherwise it feels like my arm is just hanging there,it feels like a space is there.
