My 6yr old crashed 2 ground on her shoulder when standing on chair. It is still sore 2 move after 5days.?


Question:
A slight mark that may become a bruise has appeared where the muscle is just below the shoulder. There is still a slight swelling from the shoulder to the breast. My 1 year old actually fell on her as well. Should I try and make an appointment at the doctor or does it just need time to heal.

Answers:
GO TO THE DOCTOR!
I broke my shoulder blade when i was 2 years old. Its really rare to break your scapular but when you're young, your bones are so soft.
Any fall with direct harm to the shoulder can do it though!!


Call your doctor if you notice these conditions:
* Pain with movement of the affected shoulder
* ****Swelling of the shoulder******
* *****Bruising around the shoulder*****
* If shoulder pain fails to improve within 3-5 days

The longer you wait, the more damage it could do.
Hopefully it's just a bruise, I would ice it, and rest. Maybe limit her activities to movies and reading, no major movement if the pain continues.
(It's the worst when little kids get hurt like that, good luck.)
She bruised it hun,deep tissue bruising takes a while to heal.
Yes; I really do think that you need to get it checked out and make an appointment with a doctor. The reason why is because you never know and it's better to get it checked out and know than to be sorry about it later. && sorry it's bruised and all at her shoulder. verry verry sorry.
sounds like she has a sprain the bruise is normal i myself at this time has a sprain to my left shoulder ,hip and knee
use ice packs for the swelling
when the muscles swell they push you,re bones out of place pinching nerves you,re child is not sleeping right
she needs to go to the chriopractic if you live near San Antonio TexasDr.christy is real good he treats children and you,re child will heal right hes #is 210 924-2225 in lockheart hes #is 512-398-5237
