I think you are suffering from cervical spondylysis. In this disease there is nerve compression and it cause cramp like feeling in shoulder and whole upper limb. My advice to you is get X ray of cervical spine and it will give us information about nerve compression. You may need MRI also. Till that time take Myoril and Myospaz as muscle relaxant. Also take pregabalin and methylcobal tablet. you should also learn physiotherapy for neck muscle strengthening exercises.
