Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic and see that most of the times that its generally due to some sort of soft tissue strain.

In your case,to be particular i would like to know if you have injured your shoulder in last week,like if you have lifted any heavy weight. Or if the shoulder may have strained when you were asleep.

generally such pains subside in a week or so. take analgesics,rest ,anti-inflammatory muscle relaxant tablets, hot fomentation. avoid sleeping on the affected side. avoid lifting heavy weight.
If the pain does not improve,get an xray/mri of shoulder done.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about, as long as i am there to help you.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Take care,God bless.
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion. Wish you a healthy life : )

Detailed Answer:
hi,
welcome back

if you have had no injury,then its justa soft tissue inflammation. Just take anti-inflammatory tablets,do hot fomentation for 2-3 times a day,apply a local analgesic gel.
If it doesnt get relieved,then you can go for investigations like xray/mri.
