More likely to be a *ahem* Over-use injury. 
Throwing techniques are bad for the shoulder, all that force trying to wang in a ball as hard and fast as you can, the shoulder is the only joint that may move a bit when throwing.
Mine is knackered too.
 Had an ultra sound and it showed nothing.
Going to A & E won't help pal, I did the same when I couldnt move my arm to the side more than a few inches.
I have had 2 cortisone injections on the NHS and they worked wonders for me!
Keep us updated pal

Yup, best bet is to see a shoulder specialist who will be best able to diagnose you. Things move out of kilter when you throw, bowl, etc that simply don't show up on an MRI scan. A shoulder specialist will make you move and be able to see/feel what's wrong.

No idea, its been bad for months now, i got a good few months rest and has got no better, progressively worse in fact. Cant ever remember having a bang or falling awquardly, not ruling it out, but i definately cannot remember anything like that!

have you thought about seeing a Chiropractor? I went to him with a shoulder injury and it turned out id locked 2 vertibra in my neck, a few sessions later and sorted (not cheap tho)

Unlucky pal. Season over for me too (well, bowling anyway). Back is gone. Funnilly enough, had a shoulder reco, and from the lack of bowling after the reconstruction, to the 3 games a week I am doing over here, has caused my back to go. 4 - 6 weeks of core/lower back stabilising activities before I can try to bowl again. Very sucky!

Hope your shoulder gets better mate.
