Suggest Treatment For Arm And Shoulder Pain Due To Injury

I injured my left arm while taking care of a friend while lifting from a sitting position. Lifting his bottom up so he would be able to stand. He had cancer and has since passed away last July. My arm has since been hurting me more and moved to my shoulder which as become smaller. It is also very painful and sound of popping. I have not been to a doctor as I am in the process of selecting another primary care doctor. Please help me Thanks

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I studied your case and it look like the either you had muscle sprain or a tendon tear in your shoulder. Are you able to move shoulder in all directions or there is difficulty in lifting it above shoulder because that suggest tendon tear. I would recommend you to get ultrasound of your shoulder to diagnose the injury. Till that time apply local gel like diclofenec, warm shower at shoulder and ibuprofen tablet will help.
