None w/out diagnosis: Presentation is interesting.In my pain practice, i've seen similar.Frequently, the problem is rib dysfunction which causes pain near the shoulder (usually behind shoulder).This same problem can affect muscles, nerves, & blood flow to the head causing neck pain &/or problems like dizziness.A good history & physical including an osteopathic hands-on exam may find the cause leading to cure-w/out meds.

None: It sounds like a neck issue. Seek treatment from a good D.O.
