Couple things: One of the major causes of this would be osteoarthritis. Is it painful? I would recommend seeing your doc to for a physical exam, possible pt if it is painful, as well as shoulder exercises. If there is no pain, could be early in process or impingement which could later lead to issues. Most likely nothing too serious, but get it checked.
