Dear Friend,
Since how long ur your having this pain? Do you have a occasional pain in the neck? Does the pain intensity varies with neck movement. In that case the problem might be in the cervical region than at Shoulder.
Apply ice at nape of neck and also around the shoulder where the pain is. Still if its not getting relieved then you need to consult a Neurologist.
Thanks
