Hi I was in the shower and slipped on my way down my shoulder took the impact of the fall on side of bath I can move my arm and hand. I can't lift my arm above my head thou the pain is unbearable what have I done? do I need to get it checked or just rest it.
You may have injured your rotator cuff, yes get it checked out, especially if the pain is unbearable. Always a good idea to get a doctors opinion if you need xrays. Have you used any pain killers, such as tylenol or ibuprofen? If not, ibuprofen is also an anti-inflammatory which can bring down any swelling and you could also ice it which would also bring the swelling down.
Good luck and hope this helps
