Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Left Arm
my daughter wiped out tubing on a lake today when she fell off the inner tube that was being dragged behind a boat. her left side hurts when she coughs or stretches her arms straight above her head. Deep breaths hurt. Shallow breaths do not. My question is? what do I need to be concerned about?

Hi
I understand your situation
I think its a mild trauma to her arm just need rest, ice packing and painkillers
if there is no huge swelling or blue discoloration and movements are ok, if so you should consult a doctor she may need x-ray.
I hope this information is useful.
