OK...you have a fresh injury an you're going to feel the consequences of that with sore muscles and pulled ligaments. the Rotator cuff is what keeps your arm in it's socket and helps it move around, similar to your knee joint. If you have an injury, on the inside of the joint, you may need surgery. Checking the circulation by pressing the fingernails indicates if the blood in your injured arm is circulating. If your fingernails are a blue or black color, then the oxygen in the blood is not circulating properly and you should report this condition asap to your doctor. Wear the collar and cuff for a few days and mend before you start to worry about the surgery and getting back to normal activities. Your body uses rest to heal. So...rest. Then call your doctor with any other questions.
Glad you weren't seriously injured.

You really should ask your DOCTOR these questions. He/She examined you and saw the x-rays, and the lab results. Noone else is in a better position to answer your questions. CALL the Doctor.
