When To See A Shoulder Specialist
In the event of an acute injury that is causing significant pain, seek medical attention immediately.
If the pain is bearable, it may be safe to rest your shoulder for several days to see if it gets better. If it does not, or starts affecting your day-to-day life, then you should definitely head to a doctor.
