I took a tumble form about 4 feet up and my left shoulder took a lot of the impact.

Not an unusual thing for me but now my left hand hurts and when i grip or make a fist, my pinkie hurts pretty badly.

I have no idea what's going on. Someone told me i might have nerve damage. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor or this might just heal itself.

If anyone could shed ANY light on this it would be appreciated.

there is a nerve cluster in the shoulder, and it is possible you bruised it. Take a muscle relaxer, or some sort of anti-inflammatory. If it still hurts tomorrow, and you can't use the arm or lift it, go to a doctor

Read up a little and see what you think. I cant say one way or the other if you should see a doctor, but you may have a severe sprain or maybe you injured a tendon. I would ice alot-the swelling on the inside is probably complicating it and could possibly be pinching a nerve... check and see what you think... If it doesnt get any better in a few days I would probably check in with a doc.... Get better

Sorry just a little more-if you can't lift your arm to shoulder height-I would really see a doctor...

If it's interfering with masturbating or hair pulling, get it checked out.

If it's not, suck it up and walk it off. And be prepared to be called a pussy.

Pussy.

Yeah, I'll agree with that. I'll also add that you may have damaged what is known as the "S.I.T.S" muscle nerve cluster. Thats a bitch right there. It will heal for the most part, but it will act up for no reason at times as well. I'll dig up the info I have on it.

Whiskey
Beer
Vodka
Other?

Quantity?

Timeframe of consumption?

Frequency of said occurrences?

And btw, you're not an alcoholic unless you go to meetings.

And if it is nerve damage, I hope it heals quickly and fully. Well, hope whatever it is does...but I hate nerve issues. When they become chronic problems, well, the meds suck for that problem.

you actually read the posts where people talk about what they do? damn, that would require concentration and a lot less weed.

I thought we're all just doing this to get thru school like hookers and strippers.
