Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
Neuromet is a treatment that can help with pain if it is neurological in origin, for example a neuropathy (due to the nerve). It this is the case of your pain this medication is very likely to help
Most of shoulder pains are not related to nerve but muscles and in your case due to working a lot in computer and being so busy it is usual to feel tight shoulders.
1. The thing that would help you most is getting information on good posture and rules while you work in computer and follow them.
2. It is advisable to stand up regularly from your work station and move around and do stretches.
3. Keep your shoulders warm.
4. Local soft massage in circular movements at the areas that are more tender and increasing the diameter of the circle might help a lot
5. Seeing a physiotherapist that can check your posture and your muscles and can identify exercises to help muscle relax is something that might bring you result in a couple of sessions.
6. If pain is too bothering than Ibuprofen might help with muscle pain and help the muscles relax- take it after food to reduce risks for your stomach being hurt by it.
7. If you do not improve or you get neurological symptoms like weakness or numbness than a visit with a doctor is mandatory.
Hope this answers to your question and is helpful to you
