Shoulder injury from falling on it
I was playing lacrosse and fell directly on my right shoulder, felt like I jammed it. Continued to play with it and seemed fine. This was 2.5 months ago. When I throw or put strain on my shoulder it is not nearly as strong or powerful and on occasion intense pain follows after a throwing motion.
⢠Avoid sleeping on affected side.
⢠Warm up and cool down is a must.
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment shoulder is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the shoulder with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
