What Causes Injury In The Shoulder Post An Accident?

I fell 8 days ago and injured shoulder. I grabbed a limb as I was falling then dropped 8 ft. Pain has decreased, but it is still painful to reach up and up/ out. I am confident there was not a break, but not sure how long to expect this to resolve or if I need to see a doctor...suggestions?

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you need to see a doctor definitely. It may be a fracture too.
