Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
This kind of sudden onset pain is commonly seen with nerve compression.
So we should rule out nerve compression and impingement at shoulder joint and at cervical spine.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of shoulder joint and MRI of cervical spine and shoulder joint.
If MRI is normal then no need to worry much.
Sometimes vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms. So get done vitamin b 12 level and if Deficiency than you will need supplements.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
