What Causes Prolonged Right-sided Shoulder Pain?

I have had terrible pain in my right shoulder for months now and it just keeps getting worse, It is now so bad that I can t hook my bra behind myself and it is very painful to pull up my own pants. Do you think this could be a tendon or ligament issue?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
dear madam,
i would like to know your age group, do you have any history of injury, are your shoulder movements restricted,
i would then examine your shoulder for your range of motion, and do some maneuvers to test rototor cuff, then can talk about the diagnosis,
as far as your description it could be tendon issue.
I find this answer helpful
