Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you have both, chest and back of neck pain, then it could be due to pinched cervical spinal nerves. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, cervical collars or even surgery.
Alternatively the two pains may not be related, and in such a case 12 lead EKG should be done. The other possibility is fibromyalgia.
Please consult a PCP to start with.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I think you should see a doctor if using patches and taking mild pain relievers won't work.  You could have anything from fybromyaligia to another kind of bone/joint issue that a doctor would need to diagnoss.
