Is Sharp Pain In The Shoulder A Symptom Of Bursitis?

Hi. I have fallen a few times, tripping etc. I have landed on my hands, and hurt my collar bones, felt like greenstick fractures. I never could afford to go to the doctor. I fell again when I stepped in an overgrown hole with both feet, spraining both as well. I fell on my left arm and dislocated my left elbow at a 45 degree angle. I had therapy etc, but the pain of the elbow masked the possible damage to my shoulder.It feels slightly loose in the socket. when my arm hangs down it feels like it shifts and it aches. The other night I rolled over on my left shoulder, arm folded up...and I heard a pop, and felt a sharp pain in my shoulder socket. it s been very sore, and I can barely move my left arm, though heat seems to help. Do you think it might be bursitis? Or something worse.

Hello,

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

Most probably it will be a musculoskeletal pain.

If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
