Causes Of Pain On Right Shoulder On The Top And Around Clavicle Bone
I am having paid on my right shoulder on the top and around my clavicle bone. Also I am having pain on the right side of my back from about mid way down to my shoulder blade. I have had two MRI s done, one for my shoulder and one for my neck and it doesn t show anything that is wrong. What could be causing this pain?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems to be a muscular pain which is caused by shortening of muscles around shoulder and neck (trapezius muscle). Apply heating pad for 5 to 10 mins and then do some stretching of neck and shoulder muscles and sleep supine. Don't lie on right side (side lying position). If you know the stretches then well and good otherwise contact any physiotherapist. Your therapist will guide you with stretches.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harsh Swarup
