Hello. Welcome to HCM.
Your cervical pain is radiating to shoulder and arm, which indicates that it can be radicular pain. First you need to rule out cervical spondylosis which is a common cause. You can get an MRI done for this. Uncommonly, there can be a disc prolapse which will have sudden onset of pain. It will also be shown by MRI. Next, you must go in for regular exercise and physiotherapy. Also, application of muscle relaxants would be beneficial.
