What could cause pain on right side of neck and behind the shoulder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck arthritis: There are several joints and intervertebral discs in the neck. These can wear out over time leading to pain. Degeneration of the joints or discs can cause neck pain, headaches, and/or shoulder pain.
