Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you are able move your shoulder and neck without much pain and there is no much swelling and tenderness then a bone injury is unlikely. You need to continue with rest and ice . Most of the times it is a xray to rule out any bony injury .You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
Avoid lifting and rest well.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
