Good evening
Thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, the sort of localization pain you are having may be comes from the trapezius muscle. It looks more of a mechanical one which gets exerted on activity and it rest may improve. But since it has been going on for so long we need to find you a solution.
I need to ask you a few queries before I can guide you further:
1. Is there pain in other muscles or joints as well?
2. DO you get good sleep in the night or is it disturbed with pain?
3. How do you feel in the mornings when you wake up?
4. What all medications have you tried.
5. Any ultrasound or MRI of that region?
DO let me know these queries before I can guide you further

Brief Answer:
Shoulder Pain--> Trapezius
Detailed Answer:
Good morning XXXXXXX
Sorry for the late reply
Well, Firstly since it has been going on for 3 years I would suggest you get a MRI done for the spine which will help localize the muscle tear/inflammation or if you can get a good radiologist to run an ultrasound, that would be helpful as well. It looks more of muscle/ligament tear which is not getting healed and gets worse at certain positions.
Meanwhile I would suggest, You can give a trial of Muscle relaxants for 3-5 days .You can try Mobizox at night and combiflam in the day. Along with it, get a massage done with Volini gel and use hot fermentation in the night.
Meanwhile you can get these scans done , if any surgical repair needed we would know
Hope the information was useful
