Symptoms like yours are consistent with pain that is emanating from osteoarthritis and nerve compression in your neck. I would encourage you to see your Dr. If this was the diagnosis then anti-inflammatory medication and drugs to treat the nerve irritation might be beneficial. Further investigation is also warranted in terms of X-Rays of your neck and shoulder and possibly an MRI scan of your neck.
