Around June last year, I was at work and busy typing away when I decided to jerk myself up. That was when I experienced sharp pains down my neck as well as my shoulder blades. It was really terrible moving around the office, as even taking a step would fill me with such agony.

The next day I found that the above areas had been inflamed and was put on physiotherapy for a while; I even bought a traction kit to lift the pressure off my shoulders and wore a neck support (to everyone's amusement/horror).

I still have some aches here and there these days, but it has not been so bad. For me, lots of rest (ie, not surfing the Net unless obliged by work) and lots of shoulder rotation/shrugging exercises has helped to reduce the pains.

Hope you get well soon.
