Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have back pain and shoulder pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , trapezius trigger points , cervical spondylosis or due to wrong posture for long time . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to shoulder and back twice a day , take proper rest an take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor Will order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
