Displaced proximal humerus fracture?
Had a bad fall and ended up in the ER with a displaced proximal humerus fracture. Am in a sling and since it's a weekend it'll be at least another day before followup with an orthopedist. I understand the really severe pain in my shoulder and upper arm (I'd rather have another baby!), but don't understand the horrendous pain in my forearm. Could it be from muscle spasms?
Thanks for your help!
Only x-rays were front and side shots of left shoulder plus chest x-ray, but no other x-rays taken.

well i'm sure that the MDs at the ER xrayed you ulna/radius and your scapula just to make sure there were no injuries to that part of your arm. are you having muscle spasms? if not then i'm going to assume its not from them, may have pulled a muscle in your forearm. could be having some nerve pain thats traveling down to your lower arm. keep in mind that you did injure your arm and now it's not going to work as perfectly before until it heals
