Is your mother 50 yes old? However normally after certain age both shoulder and neck are involved with some wear and tear within the joints of neck and shoulder joints as well .both of them make a vicious cycle and anyhow it takes atoll on the patients pain levels. Try painkillers followed by physiotherapy and this should help. If not better  after a trial of 2 to 3 weeks meet a orthopaedician and he will guide you.

There are two possibilities one is could be a muscle pain due to neck muscle strain, second could be due to shoulder strain causing pain to radiate from neck. Need to be examined and treated accordingly
