Sqad I Fell Over.
13 Answers
I think that I have sustained a Rotator cuff tear. The chair I went to sit on at a cafe was on a slope. The chair moved, I fell upon my left shoulder. This occurred a week ago. Lots of ibuprofen and paracetamol later. I’m still unable to lift my arm and sleeping has become very uncomfortable. It’s worse laying down. My question, any others experienced this? Will it heal? How long etc. Very painful and debilitating.
I will not frequent that cafe again.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sqad is of course correct IMO. I had a rotator cuff injury but that was a result of falling and actually pulling my arm in the wrong way like a muscle pull not a direct hit as you've suggested. Also when I had mine they wouldn't treat me at all until I'd had an xray to check it wasn't shoulder bone injury first.
Just spoke on the telephone to a doctor. He is going to arrange an X-ray for next Wednesday. It now seems that I have a fractured humerus bone at the connection to the shoulder. I have ordered a sling from Amazon to aid and support. So it looks like I will end up in A&E as that’s where the fracture clinic is.
