I would like to get MRI and not the nerve compression as most provably either it is swelling in shoulder or a rotator cuff tear. A nerve study will be most probably normal in you and also it need needle so I would first check with MRI. if there is rotator cuff tear then treatment will depend upon size of tear. if it is complete then it will need surgery and if it is partial then physiotherapy.
