Bursitis/tendonitis: It sounds like you may have developed a bursitis or tendonitis. I suggest you try taking some ibuprofen 2-3 times a day for a few weeks and using warm compresses and gentle stretches for the shoulder. If it does not resolve after 2-3 weeks of this treatment you may need to see your GP. I hope you are feeling better soon.
