Brief Answer:
You must be having tendinitis of one of shoulder tendons.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.You are likely to be having tendinitis of one of shoulder tendons specially of long head of biceps. Its treatment is rest to joint and analgesic. You should avoid using affected shoulder and bowling at least for few weeks. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery.
I found in my clinical practice very good results with local triamcinolone injection in tendon sheath.
You can further investigate it by MRI of shoulder to exclude other conditions specially rotator cuff tears.
You will require physical examination too for assessment, so you need to see a doctor.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
