Hi,
There could be a chance of fracture at the upper end of the humerus bone or even a dislocation. If the shoulder is moving alright then it’s less likely a dislocation but could be a fracture if painful. I’d recommend you get X-rays to be sure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
