What Causes Pain In Right Shoulder Which Is Radiating To Neck And Back?
Ive had pain in my right shoulder for a while now and thought it was just a tension knot that would go away but over the last 3 weeks, the pain has only gotten worse and has now spread to my neck, back and all down my right arm which is now sensative to the touch, What is wrong?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Pain in the shoulder radiating to neck and back can be due to cervical spondylosis or due to capsulitis of the shoulder. This needs MRI scan for proper diagnosis. Rest and oral muscle relaxants can help in decreasing the pain.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
