Shoulder injury sufferers, or physicians?

at work last week on tue. I was lifting a box (about 60-80lbs...it wasn't marked like it is supposed to be), and after I set it down I felt some pain in my shoulder. I worked for another five minutes or so and then reported it to my boss. At the end of the day it felt fine.
The next day I worked on thur. (had the 4th off) it felt fine while I was working, and then after I left work it started hurting when I lifted it, and popping when I rotate it.

Anybody think they know what is wrong with my shoulder?

Likely just a strain or sprained muscle.
Ice it, rest it, and take Ibuprofen regularly (and with food).

If it doesn't get better in a week (or worsens), it may be a rotator cuff tear...and you'd need to see a doctor for evaluation and a shoulder MRI to make that diagnosis.
