My left shoulder was fractured 11/19/11, i am in a lot of pain, especially when I take a deep breath. I am wearing a sling and taking ibuprofen. I am scheduled to see orthopedic doctor on Dec. 9th. Is it normal to have pain that is radiating down my arm into my fingers?
Hello, If after fracture there is radiating pain in finger then there can be affection of nerve supplying to your affected limb. Your doctor will do a thorough clinical examination to rule out that and can prescribe some test like MRI, CV OR EMG study to diagnose the problem. As you are meeting your or tho doctor, you will have a clear picture. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
