Mam the neck and shoulder pain is from last one and half years. My appetite is good but i'm going to discharge in two days from one or two months there is no stiffness in discharge. Pain is lasting for few minutes if I sit straight the pain disappears but if I sit crooked the pain is on it's peak. Mostly it happens when I use cell phone for more than a hour. But right now, if I am getting treatment, it is okay. But medicines are heavy which may be can effect my kidney that's why i'm worried about my health.
