Hello.The first is to know the cause of your pain.
In shoulder is bursitis but your pain in back, neck and arms, ¿what is the cause?. You must go to an orthopedic surgeon to examine and request additional tests to establish diagnosis.
By now,In my opinion Diclofenac 50 mg thrice a day +Diazepam 5 mg(at night) can be taken for treating pain and spasm. Please consult your local doctor for a prescription and go to orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible.
I wish you good health.

Welcome to HCM.
Bursitis always take long time to heal because daily use of shoulder with atypical movement.Consult orthopedician to understand proper shoulder movement.
Long course of muscle relaxant with NSAID is required.Also apply local gel to some relief.
Ultrasound physiotherapy is helpful and widely used for bursitis treatment.
Avoid weight lifting,sports activity.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
