Hello,

This is due to the wrong exercise and also a weakness of the shoulder girdle muscles. Need shoulder stabilization first and then other exercises for the upper limbs as a whole.

In case the pain is radiating in nature then it could be neuropathic and using Cervical collar and MRI should be performed for the neck to find possible causes.

Take an MRI if the pain is radiating in nature. Like sharpshooting or numbing or tingling etc.

If not the above one then performing shoulder stabilization exercise before doing any other upper limb exercises should be good to get results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
