General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

What happened is that you overloaded your shoulder. You have not broken any bones, but the problem is related to soft tissue of the shoulder joint and collar.

These are detected only by MRI.

Apply cold compressess. Try not to lift weights.
Ask immediate consultation with orthopedic specialist.

We cannot tell if you need a brace or not until consultation with orthopedic specialist and MRI results.

Take oral anti-inflammatory meds. Apply ice. Take glucosamine and hialurinic acid.

Wish fast recovery.
