Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that it may be due to tearing of any ligament of the shoulder joint. I suggest you do an MRI shoulder joint and back. I recommend you take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400 mg 2 times daily and diclofenac ointment to apply locally I suggest you consult with an orthopedic surgeon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
