Slipped and Fell sideways on my shoulder

2019-03-25 19:34:45
What seems like a muscle tear hasn't healed in about 5 days... I fell sideways with all of my weight on upper shoulder... there is a strange bruise that appeared in 1-2 days after the fall on front of my upper arm. I am not able to lift my arm. Pain increases during night. And I am feeling weakness throughout my body at night... but only across the arm across the day. Do I need to get an Xray done? Or something like CT Scan/MRI?
