Brief Answer:
Could be cercical nerve root compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Sore (R) arm ,right chest and back is generally due to pinching of one nerve in neck at the level of C4-5 with pressure on C5 nerve root. Upper leg muscle are sore due to pinching of nerves in your lower spine .
I suggest pain killers , muscle relaxants and physiotherapy ( Exercises + Interferential therapy with q machine). For confirmation of diagnosis MRI is required.
It may be just coincidence or posture for everything to be on right side.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
