Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain And Swelling Around Shoulder Injury
3 years ago I was in a severe car accident my left arm was ripped open and after 7 surgeries with skin grafts the wound is healed but I still have large amounts of asphalt glass rock and gravel inside my arm and shoulder , and for the last couple years ive felt like something is wrong I still have a great deal of pain and swelling , my question is whether the asphalt still in my body is causing my declining health

Hello,
The asphalt in your body is not related to any decline in health, as it localized and does not cause generalized effects on the body. I recommend checking vitamin D plasma levels for possible deficiency.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
