Hello,
Pain and bruises are normal after trauma and they are normally worse the next day after the trauma.
On the other hand, because you can not move your arm, it is best to have it checked to make sure that the blood vessels and the nerves that run through are normal and also that there is no complication with infection.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
