Fairly common.Sounds like a pinched nerve or disc problem.Also,depending on your age,it could be what in days of yore were known as growing pains.Not all the body parts mature at the same rate and this occasionally can cause one part to yell at the other to “slow down” or “catch up”.

You probably have a pinched nerve in that area. Try some stretching exercises in your shoulder area to see if this helps. Also, message therapy would also be of value to you.
Good luck
Tendonitis or tendonosis, probably the former if you’ve never felt it before. Tendonitis and/or impingement of the shoulder probably requires some physical therapy and maybe a cortisone shot.
Keep in mind that the pain you are feeling is likely a symptom, not the problem in and of itself.
See a doc. Rest, stretch, ibuprofen (reduces inflammation) and ice.
You could have a herniated vertebral disc, often refered to as a pinched nerve, ruptured disc, etc. If the problem is severe, you may need to see a neurologist, as a chiropractor may exacerbate the condition (make it worse) if he/she doesn’t have MRI results or Xrays.
pinched nerve? go to an acupuncturist
