Myofascial dysfunct: Myofascial dysfunction in the scapular support muscles attaching to the cervical spine and skull can produce these symptoms. You might be lifting improperly or performing repetitive tasks, overusing the scapulae. Review these activities and act ergonomically. Topical massage, rubifacients (Ben gay type), ice packs, local vibration all are helpful. Support pillow between shoulder blades at night.

Pain Relief: Dr. Simon made some good points. Also consider warmth to area (heating pad or warm shower). Acupuncture can work wonders for that area.
