Hand pain after falling

2022-02-11 22:17:27
A week back I fell down and my complete body weight came over my left hand. Since then i have tried heat pad, gel, pain relief medicine but my hand movement in upper direction is painful. Although i do not feel pain normally throughout the day and I am regularly working (typing office work) but whenever i try to lift my hand to  i feel pain and heaviness between elbow and shoulder area i.e  only in the upper part of arm. Is this normal for a week if its muscle pain or should i go ahead for some medication or x ray ?

Hello I would suggest instead of heat pad you should use ice packs. Also you need to undergo clinical examination to see if there is some soft tissue injury. Xray better to get done. Pain killers you can continue for few more days.
