My car was rear-ended. i now feel pain on my shoulder which is radiating down my arm and hand few days. dr said from seat bellt. is this normal?

Somewhat: This is not normal but it can be common after this type of injury. The forces of the accident cause the pressures of the body and the seatbelt to put strain on the shoulder and arm as well as the neck with the nerves being stretched and can cause pain and neurological changes to create the sensations you are experiencing. Be sure and follow with the doctor. Hope this helps.

My right arm (from shoulder to hands) lost sensation for good 15 minutes in the morning, and tingling feeling started several minutes after and it "came back to life". Now it is perfectly normal and feels as if nothing happened. Should I be worried?
