What Causes Persistent Pain In The Neck And Shoulder?

My 19 year old daughter has been experiencing pain in her neck/shoulder for about 4 months. She has seen two different NPs who both prescribed muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories. The muscle relaxants help but aren t a long-term solution. Is there a specialist she should see or something else we should be doing? Sometimes it s okay and other times the pain is severe. I can feel knots in her trapezius.
