Really bad shoulder pain?!?!

Question: Really bad shoulder pain?!?

Last monday I woke up with a really bad shoulder pain. I've had it ever since then, and its the worst when I sleep (it doesnt matter how I sleep, it aches and is a very sharp pain). It makes it hard for me to move my arm, and it makes it hard for me to lift my 6 month old daughter.
I know that if you pull a muscle its usually from a sudden jerking movement? I woke up with this pain, so maybe its something else?
What do you think?

Answers:

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.
