Specially the pain at right side neck goes through upper chest, shoulder and near triceps muscles.
Brief Answer:
Probably a cervical disc pressing on the nerve
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read the question and it seems that you are suffering from compression in the nerve ,C 5 root on the right side.
In my practice, I would go for MRI Cervical Spine to confirm my diagnosis.
My treatment would consist of pain killers, muscle relaxants ,pregabalin, and physiotherapy( Interferential therapy, intermittent traction and most important- Muscle strengthening exercises for neck).
Start treatment along these lines and let me know the progress.
Thanks for the question
Hope to hear from you soon with MRI Report.

Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon.
I have seen the reports. Small protrusion in (R) Foraminal region ( Causing Foraminal stenosis ) may be the cause of current problem.
The treatment remains same as written above,
Surgical Intervention may be required if there is no relief for a long time and you have radiculopathy also.
Thanks for the follow up. Please feel free to ask any other question.
