Brief Answer:
You are probably having cervical spondylitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and you are likely having cervical spondylitis. In this condition there is neck pain and pain in whole shoulder due to nerve compression in the neck.This is common in typist, computer operator,hair dresser, driver and person who keeps their neck and hand in same position in long time.
I would recommend you to see a orthopaedic doctor. He will get your neck x rays and will also examine you. You need to follow these advises.
1.Avoid using very high pillow.
2.Do not keep neck in same position for long time.
3.Muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz.
4.Hot water fomenatation. Volini gel local application.
5.Intermittent cervical traction and neck muscle strengthening exercises.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
