Hi there. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your query. Are you able to move around your shoulder and lift your arm above your head without much pain and effort ? Are you having pain on lifting weights ? If you have any of the above kindly show to an Orthopaedician Doctor to rule out any major damage to ligaments or bony structures of your upper limb. You could apply a shoulder immobilizer splint till you get to your Doctor. Apply ice packs to the red, warm areas where your have sustained trauma. Take painkillers as prescribed by your Doctor. Kindly show to an Orthopaedician as soon as possible for the right advice once the Doctor examines you and does necessary investigations like X-ray. I hope I have answered your query. Thanking you.
