    I constantly had shoulder pain. Make sure you are working your shoulder muscles to strengthen them. Dont sleep with your arm over your head. It puts the shoulder in an awkward postion. Thats the only way i used to be able to sleep. I had to train myself to sleep with my arms at my side. Its helped out immensely. Also frequently stretch your shoulder muscles before working out and throughout the day

    Do you bench? Improper form can tear your shoulders up!!

    Yes i have been using bench press probably that's what triggered it

    even strict-form benching is notorious for setting up imbalances if that's all you do. maybe google 'internal rotation' or any other combination of words that seems to describe your situation.

    i'm NOT saying this is equivalent to getting medical care. but there's certainly enough information out there to make the basic levels of self-care accessible. gl with it because shoulder pain sucks.

    If the pain is in the joints you can take Animal Flex suplement(you need to do a 3 month cure),and rest your body.
    If you still want to work out be sure to keep your body well hydrated, warm up and stretch your shoulders verry good( most of the injuris are from the lack of proper warm up) and lower the wheights you use.
    And you also need to go to the doctor for a good check out.

    You've developed a bone spur which is causing inflamtion. It will need to be shaved down.

    Are you on the computer a lot? My mom gets bad shoulder/back pain from sitting at a computer all day. If the doctors aren't worried, I would invest in a masseuse.

    I dont use computers often since smart phones came out

    6 months is waaaay too long without a formal diagnosis at a sports med facility with someone who knows shoulders. Go and get it checked. Could be something simple like inflammation that needs rest, to torn cuff that needs more. Could also by systemic to a neck issue, so until you get a proper opinion you aren't going to be able to treat it.

    All the best.

    Get an MRI to rule out any tears or other issues.

    If it is pain in the back of the shoulder, could be rotators cuff problem. If it is in the front, could be biceps tendonitis.

    Its more likely at back
