Nerve pain: You probably have a pinched nerve in your neck which causes radiating pain into your shoulder. Get an X-ray of your neck and evaluation by an orthopedist. You may also need a mri

Radiculopathy: That is classic for a radiculopathy, which is the irritation of a nerve in the spine. Anatomically, rotation or extension of the neck narrows the nerve canal and so that is why the rotation you describe causes the pain. Don't hesitate to be seen for it.
