Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Severe Pain In The Shoulder After An Injury Be Treated?
I fell earlier today and am having a lot of pain in my right shoulder. I went down hard and possibly hit the shoulder on the counter on the way down but definitely used it to break my fall. Cut my hand as i had a ceramic cat bowl in my hand at the time. I am currently on painkillers for a back issue and after the fall I took 2. I waited 6 hours and just recently took 2 more. The shoulder is extremely painful and the pain meds are not even diminishing the pain at all
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There might be some tendon or ligament involvement.
Consult an orthopaedic and get an MRI scan done to rule out tendon/ligament involvement.
As of now you can take analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like acetaminophen/seratiopeptidase combination.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
