I recently suffered an injury to my shoulder, and I find myself in a rather perplexing situation. While my physician has assured me that there is no fracture, I cannot help but notice that his assessment seemed focused primarily on the clavicle; however, the clavicle itself is not where I am experiencing any discomfort. Instead, the pain is localized at the very highest point of my shoulder—as you will see in the attached images. Given that a significant amount of time has passed and the intensity of the pain remains unchanged, I have been reviewing my own X-rays. I noticed something in the imaging that I cannot quite identify, and I am left wondering if it might actually be a fracture. Might I ask those of you who possess genuine expertise in this field to please examine these images?

In the second image, I have marked two specific areas with circles; could someone tell me if my joint appears to be correctly aligned, and does the second circle indicate what might be a fracture? I have included the third image simply to provide more anatomical context regarding the location of the issue.
The most acute pain is located precisely where I have placed the second circle, occurring whenever I attempt to move my arm or even when I simply stand up from a seated position.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who takes the time to respond.
