Hi,

You may need X ray of humerus to see union at fracture site.
Continue physiotherapy to increase range of motion of shoulder.
You should start physiotherapy and exercises by your physiotherapist as 12 weeks is good time to achieve complete movement.
You may need strengthening exercises under guidance

X ray will show that whether nail is impinging on shoulder restricting mtion at shoulder.

You may need high protein and calcium diet for early recovery.
