What Causes Intermittent Pain In Shoulder After Right Arm Injury?

How do I know if my should/upper arm is a strain (muscle/ligament/tendon) or could there be a hairline fracture.I had a fall on the ice 2 months ago and its not getting better.My arm went out and back when I landed on my right side.Pain ranges from nearly constant aching to sharp pains at times.Doing just regular types of things is painful, some more so.

Hi
You need an MRI of the shoulder to look for both fractures and tendon tears since this has been going on so long
