Anything happen?: You mention that the shoulder hurts. But did you hurt yourself? Work? Fall? It is difficult to make recommendations without more history. If there is an injury then an X-ray is a good idea. Exercising or sports injury maybe an MRI. If you haven't seen your doctor then that might be a good start
