A member asked:

What to do if my neck and shoulder hurt?

Dr. James Bicos answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

See specialists: Often times shoulder and neck pain can go together, meaning that you could not only have a pinched nerve in your neck, but also a legitimate shoulder problem. Shoulder pain does not radiate below the elbow. Any pain that you feel shoots down the arm to the fingers can be coming from the neck area.
