Brief Answer:
An MRI scan is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
It could be a musculoskeletal pain. Other conditions affecting shoulder joints like frozen shoulder and other conditions must be ruled out.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can consult an orthopaedic or physiatrist and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
