I get a sharp pain in my right shoulder whenever i try to move it up from the side or back had it for 8 months no pain when not in use ?

Rotator cuff problem: Such as impingement may cause pain with these movements although other parts of the shoulder and back may cause similar pain. A doctor examination would be a good start and if remains unclear they could order tests

Tendonitis: or rotator cuff teat. You will need an orthopedic evaluation and imaging.
