What Causes Pain In The Upper Shoulder Down To The Elbow?

I have pain in my upper shoulder down to my elbow. It gradually gets worse throughout the day and really aches by night. It has caused issues with sleeping and throbs really bad at times. It comes and goes throughout the day. It has been this way for about 2 weeks and I did;t do anything to injure it. I recently saw a chiropractor, but nothing has changed. Also, in the last couple of days, I have felt it get tingley in my forearm.

Dear patient your symptoms indicate diagnosis of cervical disc pathology with resultant nerve compression. Pain in the right shoulder to elbow and tingling are due to nerve compression. This needs to be investigated with Mri of cervical spine to confirm diagnosis. please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime.
