See a doctor about it since you might have a torn or damaged muscle in the rotator cuff.
Till then take about 2500-3000mgs of IBUPROFEN (not aspirin or acetominophen) a day (over 3-4 periods to prevent stomach upset) and totally lay off the shoulder.
Ibuprofen has a antiinflammatory effect as opposed to just masking the pain. It has medicinal value in actually healing the injury rather than just covering the pain.
I'm not a doctor though, so you might check with a pharmacist or doctor but I think they'll agree. The dosage I mentioned is just under what you'd get in a prescription (up to 4000mg/day)- which you'll certainly get anyway when you see your doctor.
