Pain Medicine & Palliative Care Specialist, Dr. Rohit Gulati's Response
hi, this type of pain occurs in two or three types of problems 1. Cervical spondylitis involving lower part of the neck bones. 2. pressure on the nerves at the junction of shoulder and neck 3. if you have had an injury to your hand or arm any time before. if there is any change in colour/temperatre around the area where it pains it will come under third option. if you have sort of giddiness or vertigo along with pain and numbness feeling it comes under first heading and if this pain or discomfort along with arm goes to the outer side of your chest or breast, then it is likely the second one.
