Arm Extremely Sore After Fall And Cracking Of Rib Affecting Range Of Motion
I have had a fall after training and cracked a rib and fell on my arm at the same time. The arm is still extremely sore 5 weeks later. Even though rib is considerably better. I had an xray on the shoulder and the report is confusing. It says that there is a subtle irregularity in the bony margins of the bicep groove with the subtle cortical defects suggesting that there has been a fracture and the impaction of a fragment. Increasing density would be consistent with repair. The possibility of associated rotator cuff injury can not be excluded. Is this something that should severely be affecting range of motion 5 weeks later?
