What Causes Sharp Pain In My Shoulder?

Hi I m Jason only 20 years old, I was at work carrying heavy sand bags and I tried lifting one over my shoulder when my upper spine felt like it cracked with a sharp pain going through. Every time I jump, walk too heavily or pick something which is heavy that sharp pain comes back and it feels hard to breathe. It could be the pain that s making it hard to breathe, I did it this morning at around 9:30am and it s still hurting now at 20:30pm. The pain is tolerable but just wanted some advice before wasting time going to my local doctors. Thank you for reading this.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern.
Discussion:- Such shoulder pain could be due to lifting of weight on shoulder and this might be causing soft tissue trauma and swelling too, this is the occupational hazard.
Medication:- Try "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day.
Advise:- Better get done the x-ray of shoulder because this could be some arthritis, or frozen shoulder
Comments:- In certain incidence you need to quit the job.
