First, if it is giving you pain, you need to rest it. You won't get any better unless you give it some time. Second if it doesn't get better with a week or two of rest it may be worth seeing a physician about it. You could have a rotator cuff tear or some other kind of tendon damage. To summarize rest it and see what happens, if that doesn't work see a doctor. Daniel
