Hi,

It could be anything from a acromioclavicular joint arthritis to rotator cuff tear or simply tendinitis or impingement. To reach out for a diagnosis you need to have a thorough clinical examination along with required investigations to get the diagnosis. In the meantime, give rest to your shoulder, avoid strenuous activities, do warm saline fomentation, and take some over the counter painkillers for 3-5 days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
