Hi there...
Do you have any shoulder pain?
Did you injure / sustain a fall recently?
I would advise you to visit an orthopedic surgeon for an accurate diagnosis.
The possibilities could be rotator cuff injury, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, stiff/ frozen shoulder.
Have you tried using hot/cold packs?
Pain killers like brufen taken after food might help.
The doctor might advise physiotherapy after examination and evaluation.
Hope this helps..
