Traumatic shoulder dislocation in a young male should heal in 3 to 4 weeks. It is normal to have pain for that time. You have ruled out fracture with X Ray.
Next Steps
Give the shoulder some time to heal. Take pain killers if needed. Local application of ointment and hot water may help. Later, visit a physiotherapist for shoulder muscle strengthening exercises.
Health Tips
Avoid overhead activities.
If you feel that your shoulder is unstable again, get a specialist consult and MRI

Hello Practo User,
Get a MRI examination of shoulder done.
There is high likelihood of soft tissue damage which cannot be detected on xray.

If you wish you can consult me online.
