Shoulder pain: You didn’t say what started the pain, so I will assume that it wasn’t from overexertion or heavy lifting. Occasionally, there is referred pain to the shoulder from problems with internal organs such as the gallbladder. Since this is not going away with rest, see your doctor for an in-person evaluation.
