Yesterday, i slipped on the tile on the back porch, caught myself, but i hurt my shoulder, my arm landed to far back and i felt a sharp pain. help?

Have evaluated: You should probably have this evaluated in-person. The shoulder is a complex joint. You are young so it is likely that you just strained a muscle or ligament, but only way to know for sure is to do a physical examination.
