Pain in neck and left shoulder
My neck and shoulder have been aching since a long time (Few months) especially my left shoulder hurts a lot .The pain keeps on coming and going . Also I seem to have some digestive problems most of the time. I have upset stomach multiple times a week. I visited a doctor , he asked me to take and x-ray of my neck which showed everything is normal but the pain is still there.

This can be due to neck muscle weakness and spasm if its in the neck but the x-ray does not show the muscular problems and it occurs due to neck bending for long time/weight lifting /long travelling. But if you are having stiffness /lack of range of movement in the shoulder along with pain which aggravates specially at night, it can be a frozen shoulder problem.
Next Steps
Go to a physiotherapist.. Ultrasonic therapy +IFT +Heating therapy +some strengthening +stretching exercises will be helpful.
Health Tips
At home.. Rest +hot water fomentation +pain killer gel +no long sitting +no forward bending of neck +no cold exposure +no manual exertions +no long travelling +no side lying on same shoulder+sit tall.
