Sounds ok: Sounds hurtful but not harmful. It is not in the right location of heart pain and your ekg was fine. If it was your heart after 6 months you would have more troubles by now. Could you be doing some sort of repetitive exercise or reaching to cause this pain?

Assume that ekg: Was normal. At 28 heart attack rare. Have pcp ck out your shoulder. Could be from muscle strain, lifting or trauma.
