Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain in your back in shoulder region.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added.Evion LC, Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation are useful. You can get your thyroid (T3,T4andTSH) and diabetic (blood sugar) investigation to rule out these causes. However you can get his chest x ray done to exclude bony pain. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
