How To Treat Shoulder Injury After A Fall?
i fell down a flight of stairs last thursday. my knee swelled bruised and had/has a knot. it is healing. my shoulder on the other hand is hurting more. i have random bruises up my arm and side including my armpit. it was fine as i rested it over the weekend but as i work it is hurting as bad if not worse than the day i fell. oh yeah, i have no insurance....

Hi
Try over the counter pain medication, if this doesn't settle your pain within 24 hours you will need to have that shoulder examined and some xrays taken to rule out fractures or torn ligaments(tendons)
