Shoulder Pain - tingling in thumb, index and middle finger

[TKTREE]

I fell roughly 1.5 years ago and strained my shoulder and collar bone.  The pain lasted a couple of weeks but gradually went away.  Roughly 6 weeks ago I went to throw a baseball to my son and felt as though I threw my shoulder out.  I have seen a doctor who has now referred me to an orthopedic.  The symptoms include range of motion pain, inability to throw, pain when hugging someone, tingling in the back of my hand and into the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger.  I also experience some pain in my collar bone at the sternum.  

Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue(s) may be?
Thank you.

Hi,

Shoulder dislocation is treated by reduction. The dislocated shoulder is relocated to its normal position. This is done under the influence of sedatives. In some cases an anaesthetic may be required.
At home treatment of shoulder dislocation is immobilizing the shoulder joint in a sling and taking pain killers to reduce pain and swelling.

As an aside, this most recent injury occured roughly 6 weeks ago.  I am scheduled for an MRI this week.

Thank you.  I actually thought that might be the case.  There is a visible difference in the appearance of the should that is injured.  What is required to fix a dislocated shoulder?  Do they just"pop" it back in?  

Thank you again.

Hi,

It is quite possible from what you describe you have experienced is shoulder dislocation.
This dislocation can be partial or complete. Forward dislocations are most common and common symptoms are decreased range of motions, numbness and swelling.
Exact diagnosis can only be made by examination.
The orthopaedician may order an Xray to confirm the diagnosis.
