Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

I dont think your medication is the reason for your back and shoulder pain.
i think it is a kind of muscular spasm due to overusing , heavy lifting , bad sitting and sleeping postures .
For now i may recommend painkiller like advil tab when needed , hot massages with topical gels , muscle relaxants and some B12 vitamin supplementation will be effective also physiotherapy and even yoga are very helpful .
If pain persists i suggest some lab investigations , X rays and MRI and visit your physician
