hello
You must attend a orthopedic clinic for proer examination and investigations.it could be supraspinatus tendinitis or biceps tendinitis (inflammation of tendons which attach muscle to bone) or even shoulder joint problem.Do hot fomentation and take advil tabs after meals thrice a day and rest arm in a broad shoulder-arm sling till you attend orthopedics clinic.A weeks rest to 10 days would be good in sling alongwith medicines.The final treatment can be decided after examination and xrays if necessary, MRI ,if needed only
thanks
