Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a rotator cuff injury.
You have to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
An MRI scan is required to look for tendon involvement and ligament injury.
As of now avoid weight lifting and you can take analgesics like ibuprofen and Diclofenac.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
