A member asked:

Pain in shoulder after falling on elbow. can't put pressure on hand or arm. should i get an x ray? i don't think anything is broken.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes Xray: Pain in shoulder could signify a problem such as a shoulder rotator cuff tear that could have potentially occurred during the fall. Its important to rule out fractures of the shoulder, arm, and elbow. See an orthopedist for a work up.
