Sprained Shoulder
I was hit by a car 4 months ago which caused a sprained shoulder.
After a month I went back to the doctor for a check up who told me to see a physiotherapist. The physio told me that if I performed the exercises they gave me, my shoulder should heal within two weeks.
The shoulder did heal somewhat, but it is starting to get worse again. I was given stronger NSAIDs but they make me feel sick so I stopped taking them.
Should I go back to the Doctors or will it heal if I give it time?
