How To Deal With Painful Shoulder After Accident?
I was in a car accident 1 week ago, rolled my suv several times. My left shoulder is EXTREMELY painful but no broken bones. My arm and chest are yellow and my shouler is purple. What if anything should I be concerned about or watch for? Should I request a MRI to see if there is a tear?

Purple skin texture indicates that there is haematoma formation.
I want to know if there is any restriction in movement of the shoulder joint or not?
You can go for MRI shoulder.
Get a surgeon opinion regarding this.
As far as pain is concerned, take an analgesic Tab aceclo plus twice daily for 3-5 days or inj. Dicloran.
