Question: Did I Hyperextend my Shoulder!? And what can i do if i did!?
I was doing some fumble recovery drills for HSPD(High School Player Development) Camp for football and as I dove for the ball i slipped on some mud and landed directly on my right arm and my body lifted up quite a bit putting all my weight on my shoulder!. I weigh about 230 so yeah!. Now it hurts to move it at all and i have very little motion capabilities with that arm!.When i do move it there is a very sharp intense pain in the shoulder area!. Is it hyperextended!? What should i do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
A hyperextension injury is when the arm is pulled back!. It's like the motion a pitcher does in his wind up!. From your description, I would suspect an acromio-clavicular joint injury (commonly referred to as a shoulder seperation) or a rotator cuff injury!. Did you report this injury to the coach or director!? Do they have medical care available!. If so, then you definitely need to be examined by a sports medicine physician or an orthopedic surgeon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
