What can be the cause of my constant shoulder pain and what can I do about it?

I have this constant pain on my shoulder, around shoulder blade, and pain in my arm. It basically feels as if I have had the shit beaten out of me. I can’t even really stand to have any one touch these areas.

it may be a trapped nerve see a physiotherapist
You don’t give much information, but when you stated you can’t stand to have anybody touch those areas makes it sound like what I have, which is fibromyalgia. I also can’t stand to have anybody touch my shoulder areas, either. If it’s just pain and no numbness or tingling, you can probably rule out a pinched nerve.
My suggestion is to make an appointment with your family doctor to see if it is fibromyalgia. There are a few tests they do to determine that (it’s not painful!). Fibromyalgia patients, such as myself, often feel as if they’ve been run over by a truck. See your doctor just to rule that out.
One thing that works for me, for the shoulder pain, is heat. Try a heating pad with moist heat. That should help ease the pain.
I wish you well.
