He doesn't take any Ned's for hodgkins, he is in remission happened 10 yrs ago. I am presently at the emergency because his pain is very severe. He came yesterday at the hospital & the diagnosed a tendonitis. They prescribed naproxen & morphine. I always worry.

Hello,

It can be shoulder rotator cuff injury which may need MRI for confirmation.
As pain is not getting relived by medication there can be clavicle bone injury or shoulder bony injury which can be confirmed by X ray.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
You may need to take rest for early healing.
