Dr. James Bicos answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Get an Ortho eval: There are many things that can cause this. You can have issues with the tendons, cartilage, or ligaments. If your shoulder subluxated during the injury you could have a labral tear (ie cartilage tear). I would get it evaluated by an orthopedic shoulder specialist.

Dr Rosenfeld and another doctor agreed
