Shoulder pain?

I have been sitting out from games for roughly the last 10 days due to a dislocated finger on the throwing hand, and with the free time I've been caddying for about 4 hours a day. I extended my rest for a bit more because my elbow had been bothering me, but rest cleared that up well.

The only problem is that today, in my first return to throwing since I shut down (and started caddying regularly), I had intense pain in my shoulder. It was a shooting pain and ached after throwing. It hurt to extend my arm behind to me to throw and it hurt once my elbow was about even with my shoulder in the throwing motion.

I'm guessing this was caused from golf bags continually pushing down on my shoulder, but I haven't had this before in 5 years of it. Any suggestions as to what this injury could be?
