My arm is numb fromm hitting in football?

Question

i pust ice on it and nothing it feels weir and feels heavy to lift above my head

Answer 1

Do you have any pain in your collar bone?  Could be a fracture or inflammation that is putting pressure on the nerve plexus below it.  Also your shoulder could have dislocated, which stretched the nerve plexus, thus causing numbness.  See your doc if your symptoms don't improve.

Answer 2

i guess cause its numb! just relax and chill with ice or take a mildly warm bath

Answer 3

Numbness usually arises from damage or disease of nerves. Numbness is often associated with or preceded by abnormal pain-like sensations often described as pins-and-needles, prickling or burning sensations.

The arm pain from a cervical herniated disc results because the herniated disc material “pinches” or presses on a cervical nerve, causing pain to radiate along the nerve pathway down the arm. Along with the arm pain, numbness and tingling can be present down the arm and into the fingertips. Muscle weakness may also be present due to a cervical herniated disc.

Once the arm pain does start to improve it is unlikely to return, although it may take longer for the weakness and numbness/tingling to improve. If the arm pain gets better it is acceptable to continue with conservative treatment, as there really is no literature that supports the theory that surgery for cervical disc herniation helps the nerve root heal quicker.

All treatments for a cervical herniated disc are essentially designed to help resolve the arm pain, and usually the weakness and numbness/tingling will resolve with time.

appears to be a pinched nerve in neck area, a chiropractor can tell you for sure. I am going to one now for same thing, also, ice does not help, but warm compresses do.   also known as stingers in football.
