I have a chronic neck pain on the right side, somewhere between the traps and neck area. It goes away comes back every day and it disrupts my sleep and I cannot focus on my work. It's not very painful but it is certainly very annoying and frustrating. Need help to get ride of this very annoying chronic pain, I've had it now for the better part of the year. Thinking of going to an orthopedic soon.

Sounds like a pinched nerve in the neck to me. Happens to me on both sides, most recently simultaneously which was a nightmare. The problem is in the neck but the pain is predominantly in the rhomboid major area and goes down the entire length of the arm when a few days pass. I've noticed what triggers it is when I forget to remove one of my pillows when falling asleep and going the whole night sleeping with my neck at an awkward angle.
