What Could Be The Reason For Pain In Mid Humerus Area After Falling And Xray Shows No Fracture?

Had bad fall on soapy slick shower base, fell on mid-humerus & that is where pain is, ex-ray showed no fracture or dislocation. This was 2 wks ago, bruises better, but still pain. Son insists it could be dislocated. ER Dr. said bruising could be a month. I cannot lift arm over shoulder due to pain at this time. Think will subside when bruising leaves, right or wrong?

Hi
This bruising with restriction of movement of shoulder may require physical examination of shoulder joint and muscular sprains around shoulder muscles, rotator cuff looked for by an orthopedics surgeon to be able to draw conclusion for this inability to lift arm...sprains should be explored
Best wishes
