Maybe it would be better if I just popped it out of its socket like the arm of a Barbie doll.

You know that shoulder that I slammed into the street when I tripped yesterday taking out the garbage?

OW.

I don't take it as a good sign that I can't lift my arm any high than breast level before I whimper.

hunny you've probably just bruised it really badly...i would be more concerned if you couldn't move it at all

Wish you get better soon, sweets.

Oh, ow. From one bum shoulder to another, you have my sympathy.

Lets see...ice for the first 24 hours, then heat. Much as it sucks, try to move it around a little, cause trust me, you don't want it to lock down (breaking it loose again is the most painful thing I've ever experienced, bar none.)

The range of motion limitation is probably just the general trauma, but if it goes on more than a week, I'd get it checked. (rotator cuff, ow.)

*winces sympathetically* Ice first to keep any swelling down at first, then heat gently later to keep it from stiffening up too much. Do keep it mobile, but... well, obviously don't use it to try anything strenuous.

Hope you feel better soon. : (

Yowch. If your job includes insurance, this is definitely a good potential time to stick it to the man, via a doctor's visit.

I'm thinking a visit to the doctor. Are you sure you didn't break your collar bone?
