You could be suffering from osteoarthritis, however, when I experienced neck and shoulder pain, I simply bought a contoured pillow. It worked beautifully and now my neck is fine.

Diagnosis And Medication
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

My number for my lumbar spine is 1.057 g/cm; T-score 0.1
Femoral neck is 0.591 g/cm2; T-score -2.3

My doctor has prescribed Fosamax.
When I read the paper work for the meds, I see it can cause problems (especially with stomach problems). I am on pantoprazole for GERD.
Beyond that, I have a stent and take blood thinners and take multiple medication for heart and bp and cholesterol.
I don't think I should take the Fosamax.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Mdn
