Shoulder pain and headache(right)
I suffer from pain in shoulder, which goes along the neck to back of thr head. All this is only on right side. It used to be on both sides earlier( few years back). But since last couple of years it's always only on the right side. It happens after every few days. Kindly suggest some diagnosis. Sometimes when I massage my shoulders with my hands, then there is sone sound in right ear too (this doesn't happen everytime). Massaging shoulders or pulling the hair on right back of the head gives a lot of momentary relief.
