Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest to avoid movements that can trigger the symptoms. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist for further evaluation.
