hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As per your history there are two possibilities of such pain coming in mind. Either the pain can be due to bicipital tendonitis or may be due to cervical spine pinched nerve.

As both have the symptoms of pain in the arm and are similar to your history having a thorough clinical examination and an x-ray of cervical spine can help us understand the cause of the pain better.

Also in my clinical practice such cases after a thorough examination and diagnosis responds well to simple pain killers and physical therapy.
