What Causes Constant Headaches Along With Pain In Shoulder And Neck?

Hello, I have been experiencing headaches lately. I wake up with them frequently and at times I also have pain in my shoulder and left side of my neck. I am under a lot of stress right now which has made them worse. However, I had them before the excess stress.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant headaches along with pain in shoulder and neck . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis ,cervical spondylosis , TMJ problem , pinched nerves and spinal cord injury .
