Dr. Michael Patney answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Depends: Location, trauma, type of pain are all important factors to form a concise opinion. Could be a strained muscle, desperation or ligament strain. Could be arthritis, rotator cuff tear or other items. You should get checked as the possibilities are quite vast.
