Thursday I was working on a roof and hit a wet slick spot. I slipped and landed hard on my shoulder on the roof. I did not fall off the roof but since then I have severe pain like right behind my neck and behind the right shoulder blade. I have range of motion but cannot lift my arm nor hold anything above my head. I also have a tingling painful sensation on the top/back part of my biceps area and a weird feeling, almost like numbness, on my muscle part of my lower forearm. I cannot lay on my right side. I still have strength in my arm but even have some sharp pain in the elbow. Does it sound like I tore my rotator cuff? I do have cervical spine issues that need addressing prior to this but this pain is new and unique which is what has me worried. I cannot miss work and am afraid to go to the er for that reason.
