Have so many conditions in my neck and shoulder that cause so much pain and weakness but can't tell which are coming from shoulder and which from neck?

Neck pain: You need to take care of the neck issues first as they are probably contributing and or worsening the shoulder issue. See answer I gave you about Cervical Stenosis
