Hi,

I have gone through your query.

You should get x-ray of arm in AP and Lateral view done and send me the report.

There may be hairline fracture of humerus i.e is why you are bale to move your arm.

You should not move your arm until report of x-ray says that there is no fracture.

I hope it helps.
