“Right shoulder pain at night. Is it serious?”
I am a 22 year old male and I randomly experience excruciating pain in my right shoulder, happens about twice a year. It occurs when I am sleeping and lasts for a few hours. Is it serious?

Unlikely.
Most likely it is rotator cuff tendonitis. Take advil 600 mg 3 times a day with food. Avoid overhead activities such as throwing, bench press, incline press and military press. If no better in 3-4 weeks, see an orthopedic surgeon.

If it occurs twice a year only it is probably not serious.
It's not serious if it's that short lived and infrequent. In the absence of injury, you are fine.
