Separated Shoulder – Symptoms and Causes

Numbness

Numbing or cold sensations in the fingers or extremities could also be a symptom that indicates the presence of a separated shoulder. You can easily check it by applying some gentle pressure to the shoulder and surrounding areas. Make sure to stand still or sit before doing it. Also, you need to try it with the other shoulder to check whether both shoulders have the same feeling. In general, the numbing sensation is quite similar to when these parts of the body “fall asleep.”[3]
