Hello,

It looks from your details that you may have injury to your rotator cuff of shoulder.In first instance it does not looks to me a fracture. I shall advise you following to have relief:
- Apply cold compress over it.
- Wear a pouch arm sling to keep your shoulder in resting position.
- Talk a good analgesic like advil or aleve.
- You may apply a compression bandage over your wrist from below upwards.

If this problem does not resolve in 3-5 days then you should consult to your doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
