Question about a shoulder problem.

My right shoulder hurts when I raise my arm so that the upper arm goes past horizontal. If my forearm is pointed up, it hurts more. It is a sharp but small pain, like something that makes me wince when putting on a shirt. No notable injury that I know of, recently or ever. I've never done anything particularly tough on my shoulder, or anything particularly repetitive, except for lots of tennis as a teenager. This started about 4 months ago. It doesn't seem to be getting better or worse. I have normal range of motion, if I ignore the pain and keep lifting my arm. If I use my left hand to lift my right arm, there's no pain.

Ideas? Should I just ignore it, as I've been doing?
