Sounds like you have a spasm. Sometimes those vertebra get twisted from normal body movement especially at night when you sleep and twist and turn. The muscle gets inflammed and the twisted vertebra compresses the nerve when you move causing pain. It can cause pain in your neck, shoulder, arm and back. What you need to do is not use too many pillows. One is better, at least for this. Try to lay on your back. Your muscles need to relax and your vertebra needs to untwist. It will with regular body movement and also the warmth from being under the blankets when you sleep. You really should buy an orthopedic pillow. You can find those at walmart. They keep your neck in alignment and keep you from twisting and kinking the cervicle vertebra in the upper neck. When you have a kinked nerve in the neck, the muscle will become irritated and spasm. That muscle that spasms controls your shoulder movement. Try to relax laying flat, or on the opposite side. Once the muscle relaxes, the bones and everything else will follow. Don't sleep on the side that hurts. Sleep on the opposite side for a few days, or on your back with a pillow under your knee to release the tension on your lower back. The head, neck, and upper back is the problem here I think, that's why an ortho pillow will work, but if you don't have one, just use one pillow.

I wish I had this 2 years ago when I damaged my rotator cuff while showing off. This is very detailed and really gives you the techniques you need to sort out your own shoulder issues and a lot more info such as preventing further injuries. If you have a shoulder keeping you awake at night you'll know it's no laughing matter.

Does the shoulder blade in back hurt terribly?
Do you have shooting pains down your arm, especially around the elbow?
Numbness or tingling in first two fingers?
If so, it could be from a pinched nerve.
A doctor will recommend physical therapy, heat/cold, and ibuprofen, possibly stronger pain relievers. Might be a good idea to have it checked out ... otherwise it could go on for weeks, months ... even years.

bursitis is a form of authritis an x-ray will provide answers to this/it looks like little white dots to a trained doctor. nothing serious but it really hurts. but i would go to the doctor on this problem/ he will x-ray you and probably give you a painful shot right in your shoulder socket but you will feel a lot better. and that shot will probably last a few days or weeks depending on how much [cc;s]he gives you/ nothing to fear hes there to help you.

It might be worth having a doctor look at it. It could be something with your lungs or other body part.
Hope it gets better whatever it is :).
