Hello,
At least you should have an X-ray of affected shoulder so that any bone injury can be ruled out. Shooting pain can be due to nerve stretch, it can be sciatica. For this you should take rest, avoid lifting heavy weight. Take a mild analgesic like ibuprofen aspirin or paracetamol.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
