Hello dear
Considering your age and symptoms you are suffering from a trapezius strain due to weak periscapular and rotator cuff muscles.
I wouldn't be surprised if you would have got these pains in the past as well. And in case this is your first time, you are expected to get it again and again in future also if not dealt with tactfully.
Just a few quick questions:
1. Does the pain go beyond the elbow?
2. Do you get dizziness ?
3. Do you have any tingling in your fingers and difficulty holding on to a glass?
4. Do you have additional symptoms like hair fall, acidity, cramps, forgetfulness, fatigue?
Regards
Dr Vipin Gupta
