What Causes Pain In Shoulder After Falling Down?

I fell on Friday and landed on my right shoulder. I hurt my left foot so bad that I didn t notice until 3 days later that my shoulder is hurting worse everyday. What could the problem be? Or will this just go away sort of like pains from a car accident.

hi,

there are two things here
1. falling is like a compression injury
2. car accident is like a thurstful impact injury.

both has different scenes to understand.

Usually if there is no swelling then it shouldn't be a matter of worry. Pain takes its own time to reduce. use of the hot water fermentation will help reduce pain further.

On the safer note - it is alwyas advisable to undergo an x-ray the pain limits the shoulder movements. if not then muscular injury recovers with time.

with the grace of God I wish you a good health
