I hope one or more of things will help you.

Stinger/Burner Syndrome can occur anytime there is some type of elongation between the head and the shoulder. It is frequently seen in football or wrestling, but it can also occur with any type of trauma.
It also depends on your anatomical makeup, that is, how vertebrae are aligned, etc. There can be reasons why one person may be more susceptible than another.
The important thing is to give it some time and also to see a physical therapist who can help you with your flexibility, strength and biomechanics to get you back to optimal functioning.

The symptoms that you are describing can often come from pressure on nerves. This can be worse with swelling. However, you should see a doctor, one specializing in orthopaedics or neurology would be best, to evaluate you.
With any ankle sprain, it is very important to rehabilitate it well so that you do not reinjure it. As a mother of two you want to make sure that you can do all the running around that you need to do! Sometimes wearing an ankle brace for a short time and/or with certain activities can help. I would recommend seeing a physical therapist so that you can learn how to improve the strength and balance for your foot and ankle. Check out www.moveforwardpt.com under "Find a PT" for more information.
Make time for yourself and be sure to get medical advice regarding your issues.

The initial treatment for this would be rest. It can take several weeks for things to resolve. Sometimes you can splint the area for pain relief, but you must always maintain your breathing capacity.
In order to determine whether or not it is a rib fracture you would need imaging such as an xray. Your primary care doctor can assist you with this.
This type of injury can cause nagging long term problems if not taken care of properly in the short term. A physical therapist can work with you to ensure that your flexibility, strength and breathing return to normal. Look under "find a PT" at www.moveforwardpt.com for a physical therapist in your area.
If you have trouble breathing or cough up any blood, then contact your physician immediately.
The most important thing is to take care of this properly so that you can be back playing basketball before you know it.

I would recommend that you see a physical therapist specializing in orthopaedics and/or sports to assess what is going on with your shoulder. You can go to www.moveforwardpt.com and then search under Find-a-PT.

Both the good news and the bad news can be that everything is connected. If you start to work on the neck and upper back, this can take some of the pressure off the C7-T1 nerves, which can in turn make your wrists and arm feel better.
It may sound complicated. However, if you see a physical therapist, then s/he can help you to sort it out and prioritize your treatment, along with the Orthopaedic surgeon, so that you can start to feel better.
You can go to www.moveforwardpt.com and search under Find-a-PT for the names of PTs in your area.
Just take it one day at a time.
