My left shoulder hurts. due to a recent injury. i can pretty much move it in all directions. how can i make sure iit's not broken or dislocated?

If it moves it's not: If you can move your shoulder without severe pain then it is not broken or dislocated. If you have significant pain you should see an orthopedist and get an x-ray.
