Is this possibly a torn muscle?

I put this in all the healthcare sections and nobody had answers so I figured I'd turn to the athletes! :)

ok so I play hockey. I want full speed into the corner with someone and got hit from behind. I can't describe how I fell but my shoulder went into the boards and under me. I went back out the next shift lined up for a face off and got off after 15 seconds because it hurt.

i didn't lost any movement but it hurt like a mother when I just let my arm hang at my side or I pulled it back.

literally for a week it felt the same. at practice 2 days later it hurt just to put my shoulder pads on. like a bad bruise would feel.

after 2 weeks it finally started feeling better but there was still some movements that hurt it and a dull pain when I had my shoulder pads on.

oh and I can't sleep on that side AT ALL!

that was 3.5 weeks ago. it's most better but I can still feel pain whenever I lay on that side or pull my arm back or try to like scratch my back if that makes sense. and playing hockey still hurts it little.

is that just a bad pulled muscle? I feel like I would know right away for sure and have no doubts if it was a tear but I don't know...

thanks!

    It sounds more like an injury to the joint, not a muscle pull.

    The connective tissue that holds the shoulder in place are very easy to injure, you need to see the trainer.

    Sounds greater like lactic Acid then a torn muscle. in case you tore the muscle then it could have been prompt and the circulate does not take place in any respect. To get alleviation it particularly is advisable to alter ice and warmth with some an anti-inflammatory. attempt to accomplish a little stretching slowly and this would help after all it could take in to each week for this discomfort to circulate away simply by muscular tissues which you have in contact. After that in case you are not getting any alleviation see your surgeon. sturdy success
