	You probably have a partial rotator cuff tear. It likely won't get a lot better without taking some time off paddling, and probably in the 6 month range. In the meantime, if you want to keep paddling, you will want to ice it as often as possible for about 5 days, and take ibuprofen (or any other anti-inflammatory) as often as the label allows for a few days. Take the medicine even if you don't think you need it. Long term, you will want to see a doc, and get an xray.
