HI Guru
For nearly a year I’ve been suffering from a combination of a stiff
left side trapezius and left shoulder pain that also radiates down my left arm
to the elbow on occasions. Its a low level constant discomfort at best and at
times its a low to medium pain. I have no problem rotating my shoulder but do
feel pain when put under resistance.

Hi Farooq
Sounds like an issue with your neck, due to you having a really stiff thoracic spine.
Try to get your thoracic spine moving better, but in doing so don’t overcompensate and put the excessive load into your neck – you’re already doing that!
That are some great stretches on a foam roller, have a good hard look at your working position and stop poking your chin out!
Try and tuck your chin in (not double!) by lifting your chest up – subtle changes go a long way
