Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Please check with nearby physio center and get treated appropriately. Simple ligament strain or muscle strain will also tend to be same pain and stiffness. There are few exercises which has to be continued life long that is very important to prevent the recurrannce.

In the frozen shoulder: problem with shoulder motion with the pain or also the cervical problem can be the cause of shoulder pain
Before any test, I suggest that you consult a physiotherapist, with physical evaluation, we can detect the real cause of the pain.
