hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you
As the pain is located only at the shoudler joints I feel it is more of a muscular issue. Also for a safety case Cardiac assessment can be done.
Post which if the cardiac assessment is negative than you may have to undergo physical therapy for further management
Physical therapy includes - therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises
In my clinical practice most cases respond well to physical therapy
