Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe neck, lower back and shoulder pain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , nerve compression or heart problem like angina . Sometimes occipital neuralgia can also cause such symptoms . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with nerve conduction test and physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , nerve supplement along with physical therapy . For now stay calm , take ibuprofen , apply warm compresses to shoulder and arm , do light stretching exercises under expert or acetaminophen for pain and take proper rest. Trapezius muscle exercises will be helpful .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
