Hi,

As the pain is radiating in nature and not coming down with the medicine you taking. I will advice to get checked of the cervical spine. As a nerve root entrapment will be the cause for pain to not stop. Using cervical collar will be good.

Post that hot water fermentation to the neck and then shoulder. Wait and see if pain level drops. If so then static neck and shoulder stabilization exercises to be looked out for. You should do well with 2-3 weeks of time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
