Took a little spill down the stairs and really messed up my shoulder. I can't lift my upper arm in any direction. Doesn't hurt too bad if I keep it still, but move in any direction, and pain shoots through... sucks.
And I did it to my strong side... It's not easy brushing your teeth with your left hand. And putting deodorant on wasn't easy... I had to rest my right arm on the sink and then bend down (through the pain) and wiggle my torso to apply the deodorant.
I slept about 30 minutes every couple of hours... alternating heat and cold.
Going to an urgent care center as soon as they open. I didn't feel it necessary to go to the ER, though.
Putting on a shirt or even a coat is very difficult...
