Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might have torn your shoulder tendon. To confirm this diagnosis I would like you to get a ultrasound of the shoulder.If it is torn than you need to follow these steps.
1.Ice for three days.
2.Rest and tablet Brufen twice daily.
3.Volitran ointment.
4. If it is completely torn rotator cuff you might need a surgery.
I hope these steps will help you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
