Suggest Treatment For Pain And Loss Of ROM In Arm After An Injury
Hi. I hyperextended my L arm 8 days ago when my 130lb Mastiff bolted, and the leash was wrapped around my wrist. I flew through the air Superman style and when I landed(left arm straight out, and chin flat on ground) he pulled me for another 4 feet before the leash released. I had an xray and no dislocation or #, but no available ultrasound until next Tuesday. The pain is worsening by the day and is radiating further each day. It feels like it is seizing today and I am taking Naproxen and Hydromorph with little effect. Its clicking with movement and loss of ROM in motion which is worsening also.

Hi,
you have probably injured the soft tissue inside your shoulder, and this will be somewhat clear on an ultrasound, but a MRI is more informative in this respect.
