Shoulder Pain
Based on your answers, some of the most likely causes of your shoulder pain are
tendonitis
bursitis
muscle strain.
Frozen shoulder or a torn tendon (rotator cuff tear) are also possible as complications of these other conditions. A crystal-induced arthritis (such as gout or pseudogout) or even an infection are also possible, though less likely.
Over-the-counter pain medicines, rest and ice may be helpful, but if symptoms persist, it is important that you see a physician to evaluate these symptoms.
