Hi,

It is very likely the shoulder pain is due to a muscular strain of the muscles in the area during the fall. If you are able to do all movements in that arm the same as the other arm (you have no limitation of movements) you can try to help with it taking Ibuprofen and paracetamol.

If you have the limitation of the arm movements or you are not better with the above treatment you will need to see a doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
