Haan, shoulder pain can be due to a muscle tear or even frozen shoulder, na. You should consult an orthopedic doctor who will check your arm movement and probably ask for an X-ray.

I went to a reputable hospital for my shoulder pain and the orthopedist did a thorough physical examination followed by an MRI. Be very clear with your doctor about when the pain started and what movements trigger it.

Don't sit and guess if it's a sprain or a ligament issue. Book an appointment with a physiotherapist or orthopedic specialist to get a proper clinical diagnosis and start therapy.
