Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
It looks like the origin of your problem is in the neck. It might be a discal hernia of the cervical spine (neck) that is compressing the nerve of the right arm.
I suggest you do a MRI of the neck and see a neurology specialist.
