I had 10 xray images today done on my shoulder and arm for my pain. does this amount of xray in one day considered dangerous. i am really worried?

X-ray radiation can cause DNA mutations which may lead to cancer. X-rays have a slightly increased risk of cancer in the long term. Although the benefits of information are usually the reason it was ordered and would be considered more helpful than the side effects.
