Hi,

You may be developed supraspinatus bursitis or supraspinatus tendinitis or infection or rotator cuff injury etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Take rest, use shoulder support and avoid lifting the arm above head. Use tablet Tramadol with Paracetamol. Use cold and heat compression.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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