How to manage pain after a shoulder injury due to snowboarding?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I felt doing snowboarding 2 days ago. My shoulder hurts more and more. My chiropractor gave me a prescription for an X-ray. I have my X-ray but nobody to read it before next week. Can someone read it for me and tell me if I need to go to emergency hospital or it can wait?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am so sorry for what happened. I can certainly help you to read your X-ray. If you are able to move your arm, most probably it is not a complete fracture. Of course, there may be an incomplete fracture. Need to see the X-ray. Meanwhile, try to stabilize your left shoulder and arm.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to our portal.

I reviewed left shoulder X-ray images with different angles (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The image quality is very good. There is no evidence of a bone fracture. Mild left shoulder soft tissue edema. Suggestion: painkiller, rest the shoulder and arm. I am pretty sure we would see bone marrow edema on an MRI, but no need for that. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
