Shoulder injury: The group of muscles in the shoulder can be sprained. They are called the rotator cuff muscles . The shoulder can also get a torn ligament due to some medications like the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin. Arthritis can also cause shoulder pain when the joint is inflammed. See a doctor for evaluation for quickest resolution.
