You most likely need a new shower cartridge. I had the same issue with my tub recently. It's pretty easy to do by yourself if you can find the correct replacement parts. There are a bunch of videos on YouTube.

Remember to shut off the water first, usually at the water main. Shouldn't need to be said, but...

This is exactly what I was going to say. I also have a multi-head shower and the cartridge needs to be cleaned out every 8 months or so or one of the heads will inevitably start dripping. It's a pretty easy process that really just requires a screwdriver. And remembering to turn off the water is crucial to not launch the cartridge across your shower when you get it loose 😂

Yeah, whenever the water heater conks out we're going to do a whole house filtration and softening thing but just haven't wanted to go there yet.
