Left Arm Sore And Having Difficulty In Lifting After Falling. Should I Visit An Orthopedic Doctor?

Fell on left arm about two months ago, it was sore a week later and had difficulty lifting it. My physician suggested I see an orthopedic doctor after doing some tests on this arm. Have not been able to do so. Two days ago I had pain on left shoulder blade and arm. Yesterday my shoulder & arm were so painful that I could not sleep. It hurt if I put it to my side or lifted to my chest. This evening I am able to lift with some discomfort & some pain.
Last night the pain on a scale of 1 - 10, it was a 10. Today it was a 7.

Thank you for your help.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If I would be your doctor then I would surely manage you with putting your arm in splint for resting purpose at least for two weeks, and I would start giving you "Chlorzoxazone, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen" twice in day this would surely give excellent result, take care and have nice day.
