Fun fact: when you tear your rotator cuff you feel it mid-upper arm, not your shoulder. I’m not saying you tore it, but ‘yeah not that bad’ can turn out to be distinctly unfun as you age. If it’s not healing right, or still fucked by friday, DOCTOR. .
Mid way is mostly muscle - Biceps brachii, brachalis with triceps in the back of the arm. They’ll hurt today but there’s no overly exposed nerve areas like the side of the neck or in the armpit (axilla). You may want to consider ibuprofen or a compression sleeve if you have one on hand. Worst case make a sling so the muscle doesn’t have to support the weight of the arm. It sounds like you’ll develop an intermuscular haematoma aka corky aka charlie horse, they suck but there’s not a lot that can be done about them.
A bad deep bruise can surprisingly ache a lot, but pain will ease up over a few hours and then will only be tender if touched while it is healing. Bonus is you might get your very own aurora colours in the injured area. (Source: am clumsy and have walked into more towbars and furniture than I would like) Of course, if pain doesn’t dull down overnight you should get it checked out.

If pain persists, see a doctor.
Seriously. I once hit my elbow so hard it blew out the nerve cluster there. My arm was paralysed for a week.

Definitely see a doctor soon if possible, could have hit a nerve or a ligament.
