Hello, As the symptoms, you described guides me towards the condition called as Trapeziums. Due to inflammation of the Trapezius, there will pain anywhere between the tip of the shoulder to the neck and upper back region. I will advise you to get help from a Physiotherapist who can help you assist with therapeutic ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation and TENS therapy to reduce pain. Also, IA STM, myofascial release, gentle kneading massage, hot water fermentation will help further. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
