What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Neck Radiating Towards Shoulder?

I have a pain in my neck going from my right shoulder area up through the right side of my neck. I thought it might be from sleeping wrong with my neck bent in a strange way, but I m not sure if that s what the pain is from or not, or could it be from lifting something heavy like an 80Lb bag of cement. I m 66 years old.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having muscular pain.
I would advise that you should take a painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with a muscle relaxant like Chloroxazone and an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals.
Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel locally will have added benefits.
If your symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
