Surgery might be in your future. It really depends on what the problem actually is, so you need to try to identify it. It could be a rotator cuff injury or tear, or it could be something else entirely. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause, not just the symptoms. Check these sites to try to determine exactly what is going on. You should really see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
