Needs seen: Cannot say for certain w/o exam. But absent injury/trauma, may be a tendonitis / bursitis type of inflammatory condition that is causing pain. Depending on risk factors, might be an infection in/near the shoulder. All should be examined by your Dr to clarify source and prescribe proper treatment.
