I've hat it off and on for 20 years and tried conventional and unconventional stuff-- I can't take anti-inflammatories.

o.m.t. therapy worked wonders for me (but its expensive) i have tried 5 or 6 different types of therapies for the same symptoms as you and most of them made me ´worse´ especially muscle relaxant medicines subscribed by the doctor , i wont take medicine again now...... O.M.T (orthopaedic manipulative therapy ) has to be by far the best

Try a TENS machine. It uses a mild electric current to match the spasm in your muscle and thus eliminate the pain. Sounds weird but it really works and doesn't hurt. And you can use it for lots of different aches and pains. You can get them in Boots in the UK.
Also try getting some Alexander Technique lessons. A practitioner will teach you how to stand, sit, walk etc with the least possible pressure on your skeleton and muscles and correct any bad posture habits you have that are causing you pain - you'll feel like a new person!

At the age of 12 I started have this type of pain, and I also went from chiropractor, to physical therapy, to neurologists- etc- my parents had no health insurance at the time and spent a mint- for the drs. to tell me, "there is nothing wrong with you". Oh yeah- ask my muscles in my neck and shoulders- I am 49 now- and even in worse pain, due to the fact I am a woman in per menopause- in which, after doing my own research- I can say it is normal for someone who has what I do- and I am thinking you probably do as well- FIBROMYALGIA- I have heard that acupunture helps some of FM patients temporarily until you stop Don't give up- I understand your pain, if you can email and want to talk do so. Have you ever been told, "it is all in your head?"

you can try acupuncture1
Do you know BBC News (14/09/2006) Acupuncture for low back pain is cost-effective and works, according to medical researchers. Two studies on bmj.com suggest a short course of acupuncture would benefit patients and healthcare providersThe cost is well below the threshold used by officials to decide whether the NHS can afford to fund a set treatment, they said. Up to 80% of UK residents experience back pain at some point in their lives, costing the NHS £480m a year.—(BBC News 14/09/2006)
And, What do you think about it? Something as follow:
Chinese acupuncture practitioner had almost been accused for website’s ads in Bristol
Dr Zhentong Han is a Chinese registered acupuncturist with twenty years of clinical experience. He is very popular among the patients in the area with outstanding technique. The appointments for him in the clinic in Bradford were always full, however, at Bristol, another place where he set up his business; there were troubles from the competitions in the same field.
It started at the acupunctural website of Dr Han(http://www.backachetherapy.co.uk), which occupied the NO.1 place in a international websites about acupuncture (http://www.passion-4.net/tables/Acupuncture.html). Because of the large number of patients attracted by this website which introduced traditional Chinese acupuncture for backache therapy,and top position in yahoo and google. it caught great attention of other businesses in the same field in a very short time. Some practitioner even registered company names using key words about acupuncture , and notified Dr Han and other practitioners to stop using the some key words for advertising the website. Or else they would probably be charged by the law.
Dr Han claimed that he regretted deeply for the matter, but he didn’t want to get involved in this legal dispute, for the purpose of having a website is not to score high on the network, but to have more patients understand the most veracious Chinese traditional acupunctural techniques through his website, so to help more patients get rid of the pain.

Osteopath - it took me ages to get my neck sorted out. Worth it. I also try not to sleep on my stomach as this strains the neck. And I have a small bench which I can tip down. I lie on this, head to the floor, to stretch out my neck and shoulders. That's really good.

I'm no doctor but I think the answer to your question happens to be the question posed by LL Comfy Jumper.
If I take an E and then an L and then and S and then a D and follow it with H.
Sounds like it should work.

Posture is important, although I am slouching at this moment. Also, stretch out every morning and a little bit during the day. I've been doing this for years and it seems to help.

Osteopath really worked for me. I now do yoga which is briliant for posture and stretching out pains, espcially those we hold on too.
Also a Thai massage is brilliant for stretching out sore muscles.
