hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you were doing push-ups and went beyond the physiological limits of the body this sounds to me more of a capsular injury in the shoulder joint but needs a thorough clinical examination and an MRI post clinical examination.

As I feel you need to visit a physician and get it checked once on a safer side.
