A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine specialist: Shoulder problems can occasionally cause pain in the neck, but neck pathology very commonly cause pain in the "shoulder". With that knowledge, it's best to see a spine specialist to get this fully evaluated. Cervical facet joints can be felt in the shoulder area. Pinched nerves in the neck (radiculopathy) can shoot into the shoulder. Trigger points can be felt in both areas. Numerous others.
