Refer to orthopedic: If your shoulder is deteriorating then you should see an orthopedic surgeon and determinate what is going on and see if you can halt the process.

RICE: Rest, Ice your shoulder, consider use of a sling, NSAIDs. Physical Therapy consultation. See Orthopaedics if pain persists. Physical exam will tell MD what muscle group is injured, check your range of motion, strength, special tests to identify need for further imaging, surgery, and rehabilitative course. Good luck.
