Brief Answer:
Can be rotator cuff tendonitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From the symptoms that you have described, it seems to be Rotator cuff tendonitis or shoulder impingement syndrome which causes irritation and inflammation of the rotator cuff and the bursa when doing overhead activity and hence pain.
You need to get an MRI scan done which is a more sensitive test for soft tissue and muscular injuries. An Orthopedician is the best person to be consulted.
Here are some general treatment measures which you can follow:
1) Provide complete rest and avoid overhead activities.
2) Apply cold compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain killer after consulting your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hello,
Suddenly passing a large amount of blood is worrisome. This can be due to hemorrhoids or fissures or colitis.
This needs a proper examination and other supportive medicines to stop the further bleeding. Do attend an urgent care for treatment.
