What Causes Pain In Neck, Shoulders And Arms?

I am 64. on 7/22/14 I went to work in a warehouse: standing, lifting up to 50 pounds and walking for 10 hours a day/40 hrs per week. Before that I had been retired for 2 years. I have always been active in my life with yard work and house work. Three to four weeks ago my upper body began to ache every morning. mainly my neck shoulders and arms. The pain was moderate and reduced my activity. The only way I could control I was by taking 400 mg of ibuprofen 3 to 4 times daily.
