Shoulder pain
Hi, I have a shoulder injury, a hairline fracture. It’s been almost 2 weeks but when I try to lift my arm it’s having pain, muscle pain may be, not sure. Dr suggested no plaster but to keep it stable.
Should I go for MRI or will it heal in by its own?

No fracture heals in 2 weeks .
Better to guve your shoulder rest for minimum 3-4 weeks and then get repeat xray and consult orthopedic doctor .

Use a arm sling for 3-4 weeks.
Start with gentle exercises there after.
