deep shoulder bruise (football)

mar595 Posts: 1 Joined: 2003/09/16	2003/09/16, 11:29 AM My 9 year old son hurt his shoulder playing football. He stayed out a week and still experienced pain, so I took him to a doctor. The doctor did x-rays and examined him, the diagnosis was a deep shoulder bruise. He has recovered mostly, but seems to have a returning point of pain on the top of his shoulder. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could better protect this one spot. I thought that a donut could be cut out of foam and taped in place under the shoulder pads. He has been wearing a skeleton, but that seems to lay right on top of the sore area. Thanks for any and all help.

The donut idea is not a bad one, just make sure that the points that are hurt have plenty of padding over them. -------------- Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
