hi
thanks for writing to HCM
after going through your injury my advice would be take sitz's bath for injury to buttock's and hot fomentation for arm injury.Beside these take tab.ibuprofen twice daily.once the pain gets decreased start shoulder excercises.shoulder jonit is very sensitive to injury and it takes few weeks to recover fullly,so have patience.
your arm and shoulder had full body weight while you had a fall,just to prevent the spine and pelvis.so,they are more injured and more painful compare to buttocks.
take care and wish you good health
