I have a neck and right shoulder pain ,always been told it could be due to stress yet its been years living with this pain.

Need evaluation: There are many possible causes of this but you should not have to live in pain for years. Stress can cause muscle spasms which can aggravate neck pain but is less likely to cause shoulder pain. I advise seeing a specialist in Physical Medicine for a thorough evaluation and treatment. You might also consult an acupuncturist to get a different perspective and treatment approach.
