Pain after a twisting injury in a crowded train, especially when stretching the arm or lifting it overhead or sideways, is most commonly due to a shoulder muscle or tendon strain, such as the rotator cuff or deltoid, rather than a fracture. Avoid heavy lifting and overhead activities for now, and rest the arm in a comfortable position. Applying ice for the first 48 hours followed by warm compresses can help reduce pain. If pain does not improve over 7â10 days, or if you notice weakness, increasing pain, or restricted movement, a clinical examination and shoulder imaging may be needed.

Probably a small sprain. Should heal in 2-3 weeks. Consult if it's been longer
