What Causes Pain In The Left Arm And Between The Shoulder?

I have a pain ache in left arm in between shoulder closer to muscle in arm. It is a ache and if I rub area especially in between muscle is some relief. It is a shocking pain and I m cannot lift arm higher than a couple inches so difficult to get dressed, basically any movement is painful. I have no insurance and I might have strained it moving entire house by myself . I m female age 57 115 lbs so I know I completely overdid it . The pain is all day and it s feeling like a sharp Charlie horse if that s makes any sense. I had lifted very heavy furniture/boxes over my head for over 5 days so I m sure that is the cause. Without insurance, what would be the best home treatment. I have been in so much pain that this am I woke up crying. I can not hold up arm higher than 3 inches until I get shocking pain. Thank you, Sheila
