had been for years for sjogrens RA. So maybe I really need to go to 23. Anyway...the post was really more about the muscle tears. I gave the background to help with answers. Anyway just curious it is not fun

Hi there, the same thing happened to me.I pump fisted after a playoff hockey goal,instantly felt pain in my shoulder,and went to Dr.
It was a muscle tear.Clinic gave me two shots of Cortisone, better in a week.
I have had Polymyalgia-rheumatica for 2 years, am on 5mgs.
The answer is enough Prednisone to reduce pain and taper slowly,good luck.

Based on your description & my fun world of so called "muscle tears," I'd guess because of proximity, it's PMR pain. I'm amazed at what I can do to increase the pain. Hang in.
