Hi, my shoulder really hurts, and its been bothering me for a couple of weeks now. What can I do to alleviate the pain, and treat whatever's causing it so that I don't experience more of it?

Oh, yeah, it sounds like you have something called bursitis.  I'd start by resting it, and applying ice to it.  Then, maybe the next time it's sore, you could ask your doctor about taking ibuprofen or a similar painkiller.

Okay, I'll try ice. What could I be doing that's causing it?

Do you have a particular exercise routine or workout?

I do work out with weights. I also do push ups and pull ups.
