What Causes Painful/burning/tender Skin And Sore Muscles From Upper Arm To Neck?

I m suffering with very tender skin and sore muscles from mid upper arm(s) and bra line to my neck. It s very painful, much like a severe sunburn and accompanying sore muscles from trying to keep still. I ve had 2 cases of shingles and wonder if recent stress is causing the flare--up.

First some investigation should be done like CBC, cervical spine X ray. If these are normal, axillary nerve conduction test should be done. You must start with vitamen B12 injection once every 3 days and topica non steroidal antiinflammatory cream 3 times daily for one week.
