Two Questions: These seem to be two separate questions. Shoulder pain that flows into other areas can be from several causes including a "pinched nerve." Meloxicam has the advantage of being gentle on the stomach, but it isn't very powerful and it won't do much for a nerve pinch if that's indeed what you have.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your neck. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
