How long has this been going on? If it only started in the past days to week or 2, it may be a muscle strain that will get better if you avoid straining it, picking up anything, etc. If it is a muscle strain, you should notice improvement after resting it for a week or so. If it has been going on longer than that and/or rest does not improve it, then see your doctor to find out what the problem is

You needs proper shoulder exam by your health care team. Wish we could do this by telemed but not yet.
