Hi,

Your symptoms suggest possibility of shoulder joint / muscles or tendons around it / rotator cuff injury. An MRI of the part would reveal the cause. Please consult an orthopedic doctor for detailed physical examination followed by investigation followed by cause specific medication/management. Till then give rest to the part. Avoid painful movements. Avoid massage. Hot pad can help to some extent.Over the counter pain pill (Ibugesic )would give some relief.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
