hi, this type of pain usually occurs in two type of conditions
1. scapulocostal syndrome
2. cervical spondylitis

to rule out the later you need to get an X-Ray of the C-spine. if that is normal then the chances of the first none are likely. you ll need Muscle relaxants, pregabalin and pain killer ointment/sprays to get relief.
