Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve, due to the trauma (compression).

I recommend moving your arm more frequently and try to be patient. If your situation doesn't improve in a week, I recommend performing nerve conduction studies.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
