X-ray shoulder can detect dislocation or fractures at shoulder joint. Ligament and cartilage injuries are not detected by X-ray. As he is having pain since three weeks, probably he had suffered some ligament or cartilage injury.
Give paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief. Consult orthopedic surgeon who will advise USG shoulder to detect ligament or cartilage injuries.
