Hi,
As there looks to be a nerve root entrapment at the cervical spine. Using a cervical collar, hot water fermentation to the neck, shoulder static exercise for shoulder stabilization, neck static exercises for spine stabilization, biceps static and triceps static exercise are advised to reduce the symptoms.
Since you had RA it is possible to have spinal joint muscle inflammation leading to symptoms. Above mentioned therapeutic plan should yield good results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
