Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What problem your having with your hand?
It may muscular pain if you have fell on that. Other possibilities like joint injury or cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Get it done X-ray of neck and shoulder, take rest and consult your orthopedician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
