.As Harry fell off a ladder, he grabbed a tree branch with his right hand, but unfortunately lost his grip and fell heavily to the ground. Days later, Harry complained that his upper limb was numb. What was damaged in his fall?

His pride was definitely damaged and if this is a trick question then the upper limb that is numb could be the limb from the tree. If this question is legit then Harry could have dislocated his right shoulder which would have caused swelling thereby pinching a nerve causing the numbness. All of this could be proven by an MRI or CT Scan and a doctor's diagnosis.

It is hard to say without MRI's and such but maybe he has swelling pinching a nerve. If he won't go to doctor then I would give him NSAIDS as directed on bottle like with ibuprofen take dosage bottle reccommends every 8 hours even if not hurting for a week or so to help with swelling. See if that helps but I would go to the doctor to make sure nothing is very wrong.

submit the affected area for an x-ray to find out if there are fractures/dislocations. then seek the help of an ortho specialist.
