Michigan Shoulder Injury Attorneys

The shoulder has three main bones making up a ball-and-socket joint. These include the scapula (shoulder blade), arm bone (humerus), and the clavicle (collar bone). The shoulder joint has the largest range of motion in the human body, though because of its mobility, it is more likely to be injured. If you are involved in an auto accident resulting in shoulder injury, it is very important to address any pain. Common symptoms of shoulder injury include:

• A tender and stiff shoulder that hurts more at night and interrupts sleep.
• Shoulder pain in a precise area that worsens with physical exertion.
• Tingling, numbness, weakness, or inflammation.
• Sudden pain in the shoulder area.
• Trouble moving arms in any direction without pain.
• Pale or discolored shoulder area.

If you are experiencing any shoulder pain or stiffness, you should immediately make an appointment with your orthopedic surgeon to diagnose the injury and the extent of the damage. If you experience any of these symptoms, please seek out medical help.
