It is difficult to be cetain when you have a neck problem whether pain in the shoulder is a seperate problem or pain refered from the neck. Belive it or not, rotator cuff partial thickness tears are often underestimated on MRI and a well perfomed ultrasound is sometimes more accurate.
An assessment by a shoulder specialist will acertain how much of the problem is related to the shoulder vs the neck.
