See a doctor...and in addition to the ibuprofen for anti-inflammation as described by Bernie ice your shoulder in a neutral position for a 15 min. duration every 4-5 hours. Do not leave the ice on for any longer than 15 min. though, you could cause more irritation.
If you really want to go whole hog you can alternate the ice treatment with some heating pads, heat first for 12-15 min followed by the ice for 15 min. Find a good orthopod and get it checked out... good luck to you.
