I am having pain from my ear, down my neck and across my collarbone and top of shoulder. This pain gets severe at times and is better when I use the heating pad..I have taken advil and meloxicam. Is this the right treatment? This paid began after I raise my arms to pull my shirt over my head. I am 56 years old. Thank you.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal pain.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with analgesic and anti inflammatory preparations like advil and meloxicam, heating pad & application of analgesic+muscle relaxant gel.
Physiotherapy exercises will also be helpful.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination.
Investigation like X ray & MRI of the shoulder joint will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
