I too went through all this 2 years ago. Burning pain in my shoulder blades, pain all up the back of my head, and weakness in both arms. I have been back and forth to my gp and also to hospital appointments. I was told at the beginning of this year that I could have surgery, but on my last visit which was earlier this month I was told my condition was too bad. Multiple bulging discs in both my neck snd my back. I have also suffered 2 herniated discs, the pain was horrendous.
I now have to use a walking stick. I can hardly move my neck now, my back, every time I bend over slightly, I am in extreme pain.
I have had all my benefits stopped so I now dont get a penny.
I feel really low at the moment, and I am putting up a fight to try and get it back.

I have just got my referable through to go to a pain clinic, where I will be offered injections. I feel like a walking zombie most of the time. Hopefully, the injections should get rid of the pain, then I won't need to take all this medication

Upper back pain responds to deep tissue/trigger point massage, heat, NSAIDS, traction, muscle relaxers, or accupuncture. It varies as to what works best each time and for each person.
I have an inversion table (hang ups brand) and I use it for back traction along with a hot brown rice pillow, which you can heat up for 2.5 mins in a microwave each time. You can make one yourself with a large hikers or crew sock and 2 lbs.of brown rice, preferably organic. I assume that you can buy inversion tables on Amazon UK site? They do help for backs, not as much for necks.
Hope this helps.
