Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Kindly apply cold pack on site of injury and don't apply hot water bottle or heating pad. Don't sleep over the injured shoulder and try to do gentle shoulder and elbow movements. If pain don't subsides in one or two days, consult an orthopaedician and you may require medical attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
