Hello,
I think this can be related to previous history of degenerative disc disease. Also it may be related to staying position or using the left arm mire than usual doing certain movement such pulling things. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain relief and inflammation. Do a X-ray of toracal spine and also left scapulohumeral articulacion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
