Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. As a general rule, first step is to rule out a bony injury and for that x ray of the affected shoulder is required. If there is no bony injury, I would advise to start with conservative management in form of ice packs, gentle anti inflammatory medication, arm sling and local analgesic spray for application for 5-7 days. If your pain, swelling and other associated symptoms do not subside after 5-7 days time, then we need to evaluate you and look for what soft tissue injury is there exactly? do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
