Neck and eye pain?

My neck hurts most of the time, it leads all the way to my right eye. My right eye has a red line every time it hurts. I don't know why it does this. I think it might be due to my shoulder dystocia and it's getting worse due to shoulder shrinking in size and my collar bone is sticking out.

Muscle and joint problems of the neck and/or shoulder could lead to something called occipital neuralgia which when triggered can send the pain to the temple and the eye on that same side. Nonetheless, brain and neck imaging should be done to rule out other problems
Talk to your primary or Neurologist if you have one and have them work you up for problems at the base of the brain and cervical spine. You may have a problem affecting nerves and or spinal cord brainstem giving you that symptomatology.

Eye pain with neck pain and a a visual disturbance can be migraine. If you haven’t seen an ophthalmologist, you should. Eye pain and a visual alteration can be a serious problem, and an eye doctor may be able to reduce the pain.
Would advise an orthopedic evaluation if not had one already…sounds like a musculoskeletal problem.
Need to see a neurologist and have EMG and Nerve conduction studies. Appears to be cervicogenic pain.
