You can be due to any kind of muscle pull or rupture of rotator cuff. It further leads to frozen shoulder or periarthritis .. Not able to lift the arm properly, stiffness(lack of range of motion) +pain (specially at night or early morning) +muscle weakness are the main symptoms .
Next Steps
Ultrasonic therapy +IFT +Heating therapy +exercises(stretching as well as strengthening) will be helpful..
Health Tips
At hom... Rest+hot water fomentation +pain killer gel +no side lying on same shoulder.

Thanks for writing in
Seems you have sustained sports injury. Pain while raising your arm above the shoulder could be either tear or inflammation in the muscle or tendon surrounding your shoulder joint which needs a thorough examination by an orthopedic doctor. After examination he might ask you to undergo xray with or without MRI, which will clearly show us what's happening inside your shoulder. If it is minor than the doctor might suggest you to undergo few exercises, but if it is tear then he might suggest some other treatment methods.
Next Steps
Orthopedic doctor opinion.
Health Tips
Avoid overhead activities, lifting weight, lying on same side. Ice packs can help in decreasing pain but not in gaining movement or healing the tear if it is there.
