I think it can be bursitis, inflammation of the bursa of the shoulder arm joint. You can use anti-inflammatory cream such voltaren but you can also use anti-inflammatory drugs such advil or naproxen for pain and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
