General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,Welcome to HCM.This could be due to ligamental and soft tissue injury around as the xray is negative and ct confirms soft tissue swelling.It would take atleast 10 days to 2 weeks,as its bony trauma with soft tissue injury.
Remedy-
-Motrin Syr x 5 days
-Cold Compresses to controll tissue edema
-Rest in Shoulder sling.
Script from GP and Second opinion from OrhtoSurgeon.
