What Causes Bump On Shoulder After Falling And Suggest Treatment?
hi, i fell on my shoulder about 4 months ago, i thought i broke it but i was still able to move my arm... i waited a few days and it got better. i waited longer and it went away but left a bump on my shoulder (like a bone) it doesn t hurt when i move it around but it kills when i try to lift up weights. what can it be? do i need surgery?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a separated shoulder. The shoulder blade actually moves downward from the weight of the arm. This creates a bump or bulge above the shoulder. The injury can range from a mild sprain without a bump to a complete disruption with a very large bump. I suggest to do an X-ray of the shoulder and see an orthopedist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
