As you have done all the tests and there is no systemic problem, your pain could be due to muscle spasm or strain.
Do you have any previous history of neck pain or back pain? Do you have radiating pain? Do you have pain on your left upper back (scapular region)? Did you start any exercise or weight lifting in recent past?
We need some more details for assessment.
Next Steps
You need to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist for further evaluation and treatment either in person or through video call.
