I tripped last September 7th, 2003, but managed not to completely fall by catching myself with my left arm. I ws first diagnosed as having severly sprained my shoulder. It took until the middle of October before I could use my arm with just a mimimimal amount of pain. In February of this year, I re-injured this arm helping move some mattresses into our house. The doctor I saw this time did an Arthography x-ray on my shoulder. That was fine. So he diagnosed me with bursitis and gave me a cortisone injection in both my shoulder and my tricep muscle. This is now June of 2004 and I still cannot touch that muscle, as it is very tender and stiff and I have to be very carefull how I use it. Could I have torn this muscle when I originally fell? Is there another test my ortopedist could have done? I just want it to heal. Please help.

You need to see your doc or a physio again if it is still sore
