I think it unlikely this is the neck in the everyday sense (that is the cervical spine). The French here would be "cou". When using "col", though, it DOES mean "neck", and it has a definite anatomic flavour, as in "neck of the womb", "neck of femur", etc. In this context, it could possibly mean the neck of the scapula (just medial to the glenoid fossa), or of the humerus. With the latter, the water gets even deeper as there is a SURGICAL neck of the humerus, and there is the ANATOMICAL neck. Personally, I woulk like to see the X-ray! My reading is that there is a minor (petite) fracture of one of these locations, and because of the bruise on the shoulder (not on the arm) my money goes on the scapula. But not 100% sure!!!
