Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in left shoulder radiating towards neck. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like poor posture , working at a desk for too long without changing position , sleeping with your neck in a bad position , jerking the neck during exercises , arthritis and fibromyalgia .
