How To Treat Severe Pain And Bruise On Shoulder After Injury?
I have a shoulder injury that the emergency room and orthopedist is ignoring. I have a massive bruise and I am in allot of pain. I feel it was initially dislocated, which the emergency room failed to put back into place and I believe it went back into place on it s own

Hello,
Dislocations often go back into place on their own. However, At present, I would advise you to use a sling. for 4 weeks. Take Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for your pain. After 4 weeks, you should start some shoulder physiotherapy before returning to normal. The bruising will come down on its own.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
