Of course we can't really be sure what it is but it sounds like something is being pinched or rubbing which would indicate an impingement to me. Might want to try an impingement test yourself and see if you can self diagnose it.
I ran a quick self-test i found on youtube, and i found the movements I made with my right arm, slightly irritated. They did not specifically hurt, i did not feel pain, but I did feel irritation. When I did the same test with my left arm I felt no irritation at all.

I'm seeing my doc in 2.30 hours, i'll post results later.
