If it's still sore now, you should go see your doctor. You could have torn ligaments, broken bones, or it may be a muscular injury. There's no way to know for sure unless you see your doctor. The doctor will want you to have x-rays taken and possibly an MRI if the x-rays do not show anything obvious.
Good luck. :)

The same thing happend to me except i ended up having a torn rotator cuff, three bone spurs and fraying of the ligaments. You need to go see an orthopedic surgeon for an MRI and if anything shows up you will need therapy and surgery and more therapy. Good luck. Shoulder surgery is not fun but my shoulder feels better than normal and im only 6 months after my surgery.

Sounds like a rotator cuff. Nothing to fool around with, and you should always have things like this checked out. It could feel better and then years later you will have trouble in that shoulder. Not worth taking the risk, letting it go.

If it's sore still after 10 days, it's time to go see a doctor.

look in the mirror and if one side of your shoulder is higher
than the other side you have a separate shoulder.
