PLEASE ANSWER: Do you think something is wrong with my shoulder/arm?!


Question: PLEASE ANSWER: Do you think something is wrong with my shoulder/arm!?
Hey I am 13!. Today at gymnastics, I was doing a shoot over on the bar, and I kinda landed really hard on my upper arm/shoulder!. It is like right below my shoulder!. It hurts when I move it, but when I am just sitting here without moving it, it doesn't hurt!. Do you think anything is wrong with it!?

Also, haha, I am sure not very many people know what a shoot over is so here:

If it hurts, then something is wrong!.

Have your parents take you to the Dr!. If you continue to train on it, and hurt it again!.!.well!.!.!.you might do some serious damage to it that will bother you for the rest of your life!.

That's why God gave us pain - so we know when to stop before we hurt ourselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you can move your arm and shoulder, although painful, and it doesnt crunch when you move it, it's probably just a sprain, but your parents and/or coach probably should take a look, just to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really should at least go to the ER and have them take a couple of radiographs (x-rays)!. Even if you did not break your arm, the doctors there can find out exactly what muscle was hurt and give you an idea of what the next step should be!.

Good luck and feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like what used to be referred to as a "frog"!. It is basically a localised bruise that affects the muscle tissue as well as the skin!. There may be some swelling, possibly a warm sensation!. Just take it easy for a few days and excercise it lightly and you should be ok!. If it lasts for a week with no change, I would consult a physician!. If the humerus (bone in the upper arm) were fractured you would be in quite a bit of constant pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I'm no doctor, but it sounds like you've only strained or bruised your arm!. It's not broken, so you're probably good!. If it doesn't go away in a couple of days, ask your parents if you can see a doctor!. Good luck thoughWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hmm!.!.!. I would check just to make sure!. My friend landed on her wrist and she didn't think she did anything to it and she went to the doctor 3 days later to find out that she broke her growth plate!. LESSON: I would get it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
