Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using HealthcareMagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns .. Hope you feel better soon , i think you may have a kind of spinal spondylosis that may show this kind of cervical radiating pain toward your shoulder and back , i do not want you to worry sometimes such pain subsides with relaxation and even without medications , You may avoid heavy lifting , bad sleeping and sitting postures , vigorous movements , standing for a long time . For my patients you may use painkillers like advil tabs when needed , B12 vitamin supplementation , muscle relaxants , hot massages with topical gels will be effective for most of cases . If pain persists i recommend MRI on your spine and visit your physician for proper evaluation and management . Please click and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Wish you good health, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
