What Causes Soreness In The Shoulder After An Injury?

I went down a water slide 2 days ago and during a turn on the slide I fell over and hit my head and shoulder really hard. My head feels fine now just has a bruise on it but my shoulder is really sore. Theirs no visible bruising or swelling but it feels like its badly bruised and it hurts to move my arm.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should immediately consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of injured shoulder joint to rule out internal injury.
Possibility of ligament injury is more.
Don't move your arm much as it may worsen your internal injury.
You should immobilize that shoulder and arm till you consult orthopedic doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
