If you are working out you are probably aware that many groups of muscles are used at the same time to preform any action. Shoulders seem to get used second only to backs which have to support us all the time. The possibilities of frozen shoulder (which could result if not taken care of) and rotator cuff injuries are both preventable and curable. The shoulder has been used (I will assume properly) with the entent of making the muscles working more than just around the house stuff. At times they can neglect to relax like they should, creating knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. Enough knots and things start not acting correctly.
Work both with a Chiropractor to make sure the problem is not compounded structurally by something out of alignment and a Massage Therapist to help get the knots to go away.
other application - same principle
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. Press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Devedude could be right. Every time I work out, I'm fine until I try to lift over my head and my right shoulder kills me- no other time but a military press- benching doesn't bother it.

It could be a frozen shoulder

Maybe a rotator cuff injury. Be careful and get it checked out by your doc.
