Brief Answer:
Soft tissue injury likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The persistent ache and pain on overhead movements can be due to a soft tissue injury or inflammation like tendonitis.
You need to get an MRI scan done which is a more sensitive test for soft tissue and muscular injuries. An Orthopedician is the best person to be consulted.
Here are some general treatment measures which you can follow:
1) Provide complete rest and avoid overhead activities.
2) Apply cold compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain killer after consulting your doctor.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
