Shoulder Cheer Incident?!
Question: Shoulder Cheer Incident!?
When I was in cheer about five weeks ago I was stunting!. My backspot wasn't helping me carry ALL of the girls weight and my bone made a snapping noise and it felt like it fell!. My whole arm turned numb and I couldn't move it without the worst pain I've ever experienced, that I remember!. (I say this because I was bitten under the eye by a dog, and a nail scratched my head open!.) It still hurts!. When I move it, it cracks!. My mom is a nurse (I've never really gone to the doctors for anything that's happened except for those two and for checkups and shots) and said I don't need to worry about it!. Did I break it!? Did I dislocate it!? Did I crack it!? What happened!? What can I do about it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
If you heard a snapping noise, you definitely could have at least fractured it!. A hairline fracture can be painful, but not as severe as a "broken bone" which would explain why you are continuing to have pain!. After this long still having pain, you need to get it xrayed! I am also a nurse and your mom should know that you need to get an xray! Ask her to please get it checked that its still bothering you alot, when bones heal wrong because of no treatment they don't align properly and you will have pain there you're whole life, like arthritis!. It's not worth it, better to be safe than sorry!Www@Answer-Health@Com
