Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all, we are sad to know that you have been suffering from health issue. Your shoulder and neck pain is due muscle spasm of the back muscles. Kindly, do exercises to release it. Also, you should take painkillers like Ibuprofen to reduce the muscle spasms. Even muscle relaxers like Baclofen can be helpful. So, kindly take the medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
