I went to a physical therapist (because all my doctor did was throw pain meds at me), thinking that I was going in to see her about shoulder pain. When she evaluated me, she found that it actually was a neck issue. Among other things, I had quite limited range of motion in my neck, though didn't realize it.
I had several months of physical therapy for that a couple years ago that helped a lot. That's partly what makes me so optimistic about the physiatrist clinic, because they are doing similar things at higher intensity.
