Painful shoulder

2018-04-24 07:34:28
About a week ago, I wrecked on my bicycle, hitting my head and my shoulder hard directly on the pavement- I am able to move my arm, but my shoulder has a big lump on the top where the arm and shoulder connect. I have been icing it, and the swelling has gone down some, but it really hurts badly still. I have attempted to go to the emergency room twice, but both times it was a very long waiting time and I wasn't getting any closer to being seen, so I went home.

You will need to do a x-ray to assess the joint..and immobilize or fix based on findings

You need further evaluation to rule out any cuff problem. Consult orthopaedic doctor
