female, 37. I wrecked my motorcycle at a slow speed on 4/19/2011. I was wearing body armor jacket. I took a hard blow to my left shoulder. I sustained no damage...just sore. Now, I have a lump about the size of a baseball on my left upper arm muscle...it limits me from reaching out and up with that arm. Will it go away on its own?
