What Causes Pain In The Shoulders, Neck And Rib Cage?

Hi, I have been suffering for about 4 weeks with aching neck, shoulders and rib cage. It is worse at night and is disrupting my sleep as the pain wakes me several times during the night. I take ibuprofen and paracetamol but this does not help much. Hope you can help.
