RICE: At your age (not that you are old) i would sling it for a week and see how it feels. Try to avoid throwing motion. If you have pain that continues and is laterally based you could have torn your rotator cuff. Recurrent instability is going to be less likely. Seek a shoulder specialist if your pain continues following period of rest, ice and nsaids.
