Upper shoulder muscles are very related to the neck. Hence posture of your neck and shoulder needs to be assessed.
Fatigue results from prolonged time of static postures. Hence these muscles could be weak and causing pain.
However with your pain at this stage it doesnt look like there is any major musculoskeletal pathology.
You are at a stage where your pain could be managed and prevented from worsening.
Next Steps
seek to have an ergonomic assessment done. This could be done online.
Health Tips
take breaks in between work. 40 mins is the most advised period to be seated in one stretch.
