Shoulder pain after a fall.

I slipped on wet mud today and landed on my shoulder.

No pooping or cracking but my word the pain! It’s hot to touch and feels worse when I move

Any advice?

Call 111 and get legitimate medical advice, it may need checking.

I doubt it would hurt to take paracetamol and/or ibuprofen in the meantime. Frozen peas or a wrapped ice pack on it to reduce inflammation.

You probably should go and get it x-rayed tbh. From the sounds of it, you'll probably come to that idea on your own in the morning.

Ice and painkillers in the meantime as has been said.

Hope you're on the mend soon. Accidents suck.

Especially when it was in front of a huge queue for the bus.

Oh dear. Did someone at least help you up?

I went over the handlebars of my bike once and hit a lampost with the top of my head. It was one of those jump up and style it out moments. The mortified feeling shielded the broken wrist feeling that kicked in shortly afterwards.

Hopefully you've just pulled something.
