Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Arm And Shoulder Post Injury
2 weeks ago I injured my shoulder playing golf. After playing I had pain just below my shoulder in my back that went down my left arm. Today I stumbled and jerked the left side and had instant intense pain in my left arm and just below my shoulder. It is still fairly intense after a couple of hours. Have I torn something?
