Brief Answer:
Not recommended muscle relaxants and botox.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I don't think you will benefit from using muscle relaxants and or botox. Also botox may be risky of loosing any function of the muscles.
I think you may need to visit an endocrinologist to check your androgen levels in body. If you have increased androgens you may benefit from using antiandrogens and this can help you with increased muscle mass on shoulders you are having.
Also having physical activity , repetitive exercising with light weights and cardio may help you to look less bulky and more defined muscles.
If you are having broad shoulders this can be related to your body construction and bones and it is not much to be done.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
