Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you have described , In my opinion this problem appears not because of shoulder but appears to be a radiculopathy , originating in cervical spine due to pressure on a nerve. I would recommend MRI for Diagnosis. In the meantime start painkillers ,muscle relaxants and a combination pf Pregabalin and Methycobalamine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
