[|Human|] Hi, may I ansI was in a car accident on Friday 4-9-10. I accelerated from a complete stop and when I accelerated, a bug flew into my window and I turned my head and ended up slamming into the truck in front of me at a very close range. The seat belt slammed into my collarbone where it meets the shoulder. I am in a lot of pain. I am able to move my arm, rotate, lift it above shoulder, basically I have total motion. I do notice though that when i extend my air fully up, hand in the air, there is some popping. It hurts some when I am moving it. I do not see brusing, cuts, or swelling, but it hurts like crazy. I am ok if I don t use it, luckily it is my left shoulder, but after working as a receptionist and doing everyday things, it throbs. Unfortunately, I have to use my arm! If i keep my arm in a position like it would be in a sling, or i support it with my right arm, it doesn t hurt so much. I don t want anyone to touch it. When i was helping my son who is 5 get dressed, he put pressure on my shoulder to keep his balance and that hurt a lot! It gets very warm, not to the touch, I just feel a lot of heat radiating from it. The pain spreads through my shoulder and sometimes reaches my elbow. I have not put ice on it, but i have used the heating pad which helps a little bit. I am not expecting a severe injury because it doesn t look injured, but it really really hurts! What should i do? My neck is not sore at all, so i don t think i have whiplash.
[|AI|]  Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. There could be hair line fracture or sprain. I would recommend you to visit hospital for X-ray to rule out any such cause. In the meanwhile I would suggest you following things:> Take naproxen twice a day for 5 days> Apply ibuprofen cream over the shoulder and massage.> Take boiling water in a rubber bottle and put over your shoulder. It will give soothing effect. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
