Pain in upper back, shoulder and neck
From last one week, I have pain in my upper back, shoulder and neck. It has now moved to the back of my skull and is causing headache. I am taking painkillers but not much relief. It is subsiding for sometime but again coming back.
What should I do? I have no another symptoms.
