Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like you have pain in your right arm. It can be due to pinched nerve, sprain or strain in the muscle. Take muscle relaxants (Cyclobenzaprine, Amrix) or Advil for relieve of pain. I will suggest you to have an X-ray done for your cervical spine as in cervical spondylitis pain radiates around the shoulder blade & arm. They may do some imaging (MRI & CT) & nerve function tests. Get the above screening tests done to get treated before symptoms complicate. Take Vitamin B12 along with Folic acid & Zinc. Do regular exercise. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
