Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Swollen Neck

My husband has been suffering with back pain for about two weeks that has been moving around, It t started under his left clavicle, then moved to the left lower back, then to the right lower back and back up under the right clavicle,. Next it moved to he left side of his neck which was swollen and tender to the touch and has now settled in his left shoulder. It is staying in the shoulder and almost constant pain that he rates at a 10 most of the time. The initial pain started when he was throwing drywall from a cart into a Dumpster. Hes been to ER twice and saw another doctor at MED Express. They all seem to think it is muscular.. The dr this morning at ER thought mayber it is the shoulder and it is a frozen shoulder We are at a loss as what to do, any thought or suggestionss
