Suggest Treatment For Cellulitis

Hi, I have recently experienced cellulitis in my left ar. Overnight it went from my wrist to about four inched sbove my elbow this was caused by difficult fall that laid open my elbow snd back of my head. I also had a concussion. The cellulitis has been addressed with antibiotics. There is now an area of pain in my upper arm with limited movement. Could this be caused by the cellulitis settling in my shoulder.?
