    I am so sorry to hear of your shoulder pain. I am experiencing this in both shoulders as well. First thing is to see you family physician, because at-home remedies just does not work. You possibly could have a torn rotator cuff, which could also be slipping in and out of place. This is very excruciating. Xrays do not show the problem and you must submit to an MRI in order for this to be successfully diagnosed and treated. Also, my doctor prescribed for me Moblic which is a generic for one of the arthritic medication that worked for me very well.
    Get medical treatment soon, and good luck because I feel you pain.

    do you sleep on that side? REPETITIVE movements will cause loss of circulation but i think you should get an x-ray & talk to a doc

    See a healer …..recomended
    Sounds like you have a blocked artery in your neck …….do you smoke ??

    its called thoracic outlet syndrome. this is a collection of signs and symptoms brought about by occlusion of nerve and blood supply to the arm.
    how it is recognized. depending on what structures are compressed the TOS shows shooting pain, weakness in fingers, numbess, and paresthesia ( pins and needles) along with a feeling of fullness and possable discoloration of the affected arm from impaired circulation.
    its from muscle tightness of your pectoralis minor in shoulder near the side of your ribs.

    I am not a doctor, but some of the things you described sounds like you have strained something or you could have an impingment. If you’ve never had problems with your shoulder before you may have slept bad and possible injured your shoulder. You should have an MRI done. X-Rays do not show soft-tissue injuries. See your physician ASAP.

    Poosibly a frozen shoulder. This requires physio and possibly cortisone injections. It can be because of carrying a heavy handbag, children, shopping bags for far too long. There is also interferencial therapy which really worked for me. Ask your GP.

    Bursitis is common in anterior shoulder. An injection of a steroid cures immediately.

    Sounds like a pinched nerve or a damaged spinal disc. See
    a bone doctor or chiropractor.

    Have you been sleeping on that shoulder. If you had it pinned, you could have a pressed nerve. If that’s the case, pain medication is no use. I suggest you try to get through the night and see a proper specialist tomorrow. Meanwhile, you could try a heat pad and just dangling your arm as relaxed as possible. Due to the fact that the area for shoulder pain and sleep management are next to each other in the brain, you might be having a sleepless night. Hope you get better soon!
