Hi,
i have understood your query.
It seems that you have a rotator cufff injury ( supraspinatus tear?). My advise for you to is get an X ray of the involved shoulder.
By then, use a shoulder immobilizer and use an analgesic (acelofenac 200mg SR OD) along with omeprazole 20 mg BBF.
Please follow up with X ray of concerned shoulder.
Take care.

Hello,
Since you are not sure of the traumatic event its possible that this not to an injury.This could be the beginning of an inflammation of the shoulder tendons which connect to the bone. Pain medication like diclofenac or celecoxib can be used(take care to protect your stomach with anti ulcer agents)
Try a hot pack after a local cream application and then a round of rotatary shoulder exercises.
Physical therapy and ultrasound therapy will help as well
If you are a diabetic do make sure that it well controlled
