Why can't i put pressure/lift my arm properly?!


Question: Why can't i put pressure/lift my arm properly?
Yesterday i went over the handlebars on my bike, at pretty high speed, ever since my arm hasn't been able to operate properly, i don't think it's a break/fracture, but i can't lift it without it needing to be supported without it hurting alot, i also can't apply any pressure to my arm, as this is also painful.

It's almost like a dead arm, that's only lasting more than 10 minutes.

Any help as to what this problem is would be appreciated,

Cheers.

Answers:

It could be a torn rotator cuff. Or, there could be a fracture. I would suggest making an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation.



Hmm You need to go to the ER like NOW!!! If it is broken it needs to be treated. If it isn't you may never have normal use of it again.
