What Causes Radiating Neck And Shoulder Pain?

Hi, my husband has suffered from neck pain for years, a dr. Told him many years ago it was arthritic. He has now got really bad shoulder pain and has a feeling sometimes of pins and needles in that shoulder area, radiating from his neck across. He is also getting some headaches with it. We thought it may be caused through overuse as his job requires him to stack shelves which is very repetitive. Would this be the cause?
