I fell down a flight of stairs nearly a month ago. I had an x ray of my shoulder and collarbone but the pain is getting worse. Don't know what to do? Surely it should be getting better!
Perhaps you have an impinged nerve. An MRI may provide you with the answer.
Decided to go private and have an appointment on Friday now to see if I've torn anything! Thanks
Even minor shoulder injuries can take a while to heal, but you are correct to raise a flag. Go see an orthopedist ASAP.
I understand that x-rays do not show soft tissue damage. An MRI may be in order. However, remember that sprained tendons can take 6 to 8 weeks to get better. Definitely get another/a second opinion. Don't let anybody jump to conclusions. A shoulder is a complex thing.
wonderful...please stay in touch ..hugs
