hi just wondering if anyone can help, my arm was in a funny position when I fell off horse yesterday, it has a slight aching when im not moving it but when i try to lift it over my head it feels like it has no strength and really hurts-its also clicking a bit. any ideas to what I've done to it-anyone had anything similar? thanks x
 
I had a similar thing happen to me over Christmas and it is only starting to feel better now. It COULD be slight shoulder seperation or joint sprain. You will have to be very patient as it takes ages to heal fully - I would see a physio and get some excercises to help a faster recovery. There are also sime light weight excercises you can do to help strengthen the shoulder again.

You might also want to try putting a towel soaked with warm water on the shoulder, followed by an ice pack/frozen peas. This will reduce the swelling to start.

GOOD LUCK!
