Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain in the shoulder may be due cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy , which lead to nerve root compression and pain. Use arm rest while sleeping. use neck support and lower lumbar support. Use pragab or Gabapentin tablet under your doctor guidance. Do regular exercise and physiotherapy and exercise. If symptoms not improved please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
