Hello and Welcome to "Ask A Doctor" service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have done a good job describing your son's condition.
From your remarks, I think it would be best to have him evaluated by a physician who has the facilities to obtain an X-ray if it is felt indicated. To make sure there is no fracture of the left upper arm or left rib cage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
