I tripped over my dog and fell on my left side. I have neuropathy in both arms and feet, I have to use a walker in order to move around. Ever since I fell my upper arm has been painful and any small movement hurts and at times I have to use my other arm to help support when I have to get something from the cabinet. I do not know if what I have could be a hairline fracture ?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain can be either secondary to the impact or due to a fracture in the bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly. Till then, you can take analgesic like diclofenac(if you are not allergic) for the pain. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
