Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that you have osteoarthritis shoulder and cervical spondylosis. Both these conditions are degenerative changes and due to wear and tear of bone joints. Both these conditions have to be treated separately. The shoulder problem can be treated with physiotherapy and steroid injections. The steroid injections have to be given at the shoulder and might require to be repeated at 3 monthly intervals. The cervical spine problem can be treated with physiotherapy and reducing neck movements. Pain relievers to treat neurogenic pain can be given for both the pains. Should you like to search the right terms then please look for shoulder arthritis or osteoarthritis and cervical spondylosis.
