Nerve Compression in Right Arm

2019-08-16 14:40:01
I fell while riding bicycle in April 2019. I fell on my right side with my arm hitting the pavement. I started feeling mild pain in the area around deltoid and triceps muscles on the posterior side of the right arm. I ignored it because i thought it must be a small muscular injury which will dissipate on its own. It has been almost 4 months now and the pain hasn't gone away. It aggravates when i tend to stretch my right arm backwards or while doing exercise such as suryanamaskar. Also I have pain when i wake up in the morning, maybe because i tend to sleep on my right arm. The pain seems to radiate along arm and lifting weight is troublesome. I have undergone x-ray for my right arm, which was normal. I was advised to take Vitamin D3 tablets and a painkiller but that seems like a symptomatic treatment only without treating the underlying cause. I need to write a lot owing to an upcoming examination. Considering there is only a month left, I need to take urgent corrective medication

You can first concentrate on reducing the pain by placing hot and cold pack alternatively in the painful area multiple times a day. And dont try to lift heavy weights as of now. Give some time to heal. Have protein rich food and proper water intake.
Next Steps
static shoulder strengthening exercises can be done. Scapular strengthening should also be done. and  once pain has reduced 50% you can start with stretching and strengthening.
Health Tips
Start with pain reduction that is hot and cold application plus static shoulder strengthening exercises along with scapular muscle strengthening exercises .
