Orthopedist. It could be a torn/damaged rotator cuff, or "frozen shoulder". That's what I had in my left shoulder, and I think it's happening in my right as well.

I would definitely go to an orthopedist, preferably one that specializes in shoulders. I have had shoulder pain for a long time caused by arthritis in my shoulder. Shoulder pain can be caused by many different things.

I have tendonitis in both of my shoulders! I have been to physical therapy and I have had cortizone injections. See an Orthopedist.

I had scar tissue, and needed surgery to remove it. Neither me nor the doctors were sure what might have caused the scar tissue. I never had a traumatic injury to the shoulder.

I'm starting to have pain in my other shoulder, so I'm being proactive and stretching it and exercising to hopefully avoid needing surgery.

If you go to an orthopedic, Dr Philip Schrank in Setauket is awesome and specializes in shoulders:) He did my shoulder surgery a few years ago and my brother's last year.
