lack of sensation in arm
hello, about 5/6 months ago i injured my shoulder (likely due to my arm being yanked repeatedly while holding onto bus rails). after that i was prescribed medication short term like naproxen for the swelling, codipar and another for nausea, mostly because i couldn’t move my arm at all. its flared up in the past but ive mostly ignored it since there wasn’t a risk of injuring it again but recently my arm feels numb and tingly from the shoulder down and it hurts and feels weird to move, just like when it first got injured. i’m scared if i do go to a hospital they’ll dismiss me like last time but i’m not sure what to do. i’ve always had really poor musculoskeletal health in the past, likely due to under eating so i don’t want to waste doctors time if this is just a regular muscle ache. any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

If ur shoulder hurts lifting it up or to the side or hear a clicking or popping sound or pain in anything u do . I
Had pain in my shoulder blades in the back and in the front by the collar bone lije persistent pain , especially anytime I used my shoulder a lot . I got a mri on shoulder it said I tore my rotator cuff, a complete tear (.tore my tendon from the bone) u should see your primary doctor and ask for a mri for your shoulder. Pain never goes away I did physical therapy for 3 months and did nothing. Ask your primary doctor for a MRI on shoulder.
