Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi thanks for the query.
From the complaints you had described it could be some form of muscle catch of the muscles around the shoulder blade. I would advise you to consult an Orthopedician and get an X-ray and further evaluation. You may get better with some basic pain medications and some form of Physio therapy.
I find this answer helpful
