A week and a half ago, my mom woke up screaming in pain at two in the morning. Don't know how, but her dominant arm had been broken and the shoulder dislocated - perhaps from a seizure, although she has no history of such.
The ER doctor didn't even bother to take X-rays, but sent her home with instructions for treating "muscle strain." It wasn't until two days later, when her primary physician ordered X-rays, that we discovered the break and dislocation.
A brain MRI showed no signs of a stroke nor of tumors, so that's good.
At first, the orthopaedic surgeon thought that he might replace her shoulder, but when he opened it up for the operation, Thursday, it was actually good enough that he was able to repair it, instead.
I brought her back home yesterday and she still has quite a bit of pain, but at least it can start healing, now.
