Hi,

You may be suffering from cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy pain. It may be rotator cuff injury. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use cold and warm compression. Use NSAIDS if necessary. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
