Hi..

You had shoulder contution after the fall...It needs sometime to heal and get the movement back...
since you are having brufen tab it should help you to relieve pain due to inflammation..

In addition to your medication..I would like you to

Do icing frequently to reduce muscle guarding and promote healing...
Don't move your shoulder forcefully in the painful range...move it in painless range..
Don't lie on that shoulder...
you can slowly perform pendulum exercises for improving range..

Hope this is helpful for you..
kindly revert back in case you need any further help...
I find this answer helpful
