At least yours was an impressive tumble, I was on a bumpy lane and a car came around the corner in the middle of the road with a distinct bias towards the tiny bit of space me and my Yates MTB were taking up. I braked and tried to do a sort of wall of death on a dry stone wall, high sided at about 10 MPH, flipped over sideways and landed with the bike still cleated to me.
If I had been going faster I would probably have rolled away, as I have done on plenty of other falls.
Keep the shoulder gently active and you'll be fine. I was off work for four weeks.
