Ack my arm

Riding to class today down 2nd ave, I was waiting at a red light, doing tight circles to avoid putting a foot down. Well, I must have tugged a little too tightly on the handlebar, cause next thing I know, I had no control of my right arm and I began to fall over. I couldn't really do anything about it, luckily traffic was quite some distance behind me. I disentagled myself and dragged myself to the sidewalk, where I popped my shoulder back in. Still not exactly sure what happened. I have a little soreness in my arm, but full range of movement. Anything like this ever happen to anyone else? I'm going to talk to a doctor about this, but do y'all think I need any urgent care?

Now for the bad news. Somehow I bent my front rim quite badly. I guess I'll try and have it trued tomorrow. If they can't beat it back into shape, who's got the best deal on decent (not blingy or anything) front wheels in nyc?
