Brief Answer:
Cervical spine issues.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The pain you are having in spine, neck, shoulder and back may be related to pinched nerve further to a spinal cord disease or condition. Spondyloarthrosis or degenerative spondylitis may cause inflammation of the nerves causing pain.
You may need to do a x-ray of cervical spine to see its conditions.
I don't think that slightly closed and congested eye are not related to the conditions. Possibly you are having an eye infection or allergy. You can send me a photo of the eye

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you, that would make sense. I had a fall a couple of months ago and landed on that side, fortunately it was in soft dirt. Thank you for the informative response!
