I have a sharp pain in my shoulder. first it was only at night but the past few days it hurts all of the time. took alieve but it's not working.?

Depends: The pain in the shoulder maybe due to tendonitis, tendon tears, arthritis, labral tears, instability, or may be radiated to the shoulder from your neck. A careful evaluation of your symptoms and examination of your shoulder and neck will help with the correct diagnosis. In general night pain should be evaluated by a doctor.

Check it out.: Where in the shoulder is the pain? What makes it worse(better)? Time to check it out with your orthopaedist.
