Vit Def ? & Bone ?

 Okay, these aren't for me, but I need help. I'm too tired to do research tonight. 

My daughter had an accident during her softball game tonight and they are pretty sure her shoulder is fractured (the inner rim of her socket to be exact). Anybody ever heard of this? Have any experience with it? Does this kind of fracture usually heal on its own w/out surgery? 

Also, they diagonosed her with neuropothy or Reynaud's Syndrom while we were there based on some of her test results (numb fingertips, and then with her history of it they said it's probably that). The paperwork they gave me said that it can be caused by a vitamin deficiency. Anybody know vitamins this may be? They figure it's not from the injury as she had symptoms previously and she won't be following up with her pcp for this until after we've gotten some answers on her shoulder. 

Help! 

 I'm sorry your daughter was hurt.  I hope they are able to get things figured out quickly!  Did they say it was a scapula or clavicle injury?  In any case, these pretty much just require pain management and immobilization, and eventually PT.  

Neuropathy and Reynauds- start with having her Dr do a workup for autoimmune conditions.  Even better, get a referral to a Rheumatologist and have THEM do it.  Neuropathy can be from B vitamin deficiencies (and other medical issues like Diabetes, ect), and Reynauds can be caused by magnesium deficiency (as well as other medications, previous injury, and other medical conditions), but, they BOTH occur as primary symptoms of MANY autoimmune disorders.  Definitely worth checking into.

 Thanks Bean! It's the labrum bone that has a hair line fracture. She saw the ortho today, and his biggest concern was the fact that her coach and the third basemen heard her shoulder pop twice, which he says was it dislocating and then setting itself, resulting in the fracture because of how how it reset. She's getting x-rays again Saturday to make sure it's not getting worse, and so long as that is doing well she doesn't have to see him again until June 7th. 

I called her pcp and she's having bloodwork done shortly. He said to start her on B Vitamins now, in case thats the problem. I'm going to ask him about having her tested for autoimmune problems too. Diabetes is a big issue in my family, so I want her checked now. 

*raises hand* Shoulder veteran here! If her fracture is simple and there is no displacement of bone fragments or anything, it should heal without surgery. But be darned sure to follow up with an ortho doc *****ally knows shoulders well. They are complicated buggers. And find her a physical therapist with great sports and shoulder rehab expertise. It will make all the difference in the world.

I've done my share of shoulder rehab and oh, boy, did having the right rehab specialist improve my life. She might be surprised, when she starts rehab, at how weak her shoulder got in a VERY short time. There are a zillion structures involved and when one of them gets messed up, others quickly follow. It's vital that she be very thorough (but not pu**** too hard) and devoted in doing her therapy.

 Thanks Elizabeth, our usual ortho turned her over to another in their practice. She said Dr. Petrosky's the best with shoulders in our area, and he promised if he has any unusual concerns we're sending her to a different ortho who I was told is a shoulder genius (but I couldn't get Rissa in there today). She has to start  range of motion in tiny amounts starting tomorrow. We've already called the sports rehab clinic to get her started there in 3 weeks. She's determined that she's going to be up and ready to play in the softball tournament in August. So's she's doing exactly as they say.
