2 things more likely: Based on your description, the 2 most likely causes are ac joint arthritis or biceps tendonitis. Certainly it would be best to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon with an x-ray and physical examination. X-ray may show ac arthritis, but not tendinitis. Couple simple tests done by the doctor can narrow down the cause. A simple corticosteroid injection may resolve the problem. See an orthopod.
