General & Family Physician 's  Response
You have not mentioned your age. Age related degeneration leading to osteoporosis may hav such symptoms. If bony degeneration found on xray calcium supplementation is necessary.
Again osteoarthritic changes may cause pain in hip or shoulder also with radiation in arms. Rest and physiotherapy have a important role in this. Oral analgesic with muscle relaxant help to get symptomatic relief. Topical diclofenac gel application and short wave diathermy also have role. If the joint space is found to be reduced chondroitin sulfate is indicated.
There is also a chance of spondylosis causing nerve compression leading to such symptoms. Conservative management with keeping the vertebrae straight along with analgesic, hot compression, physiotherapy can cure it in early stages.
High blood sugar may also be a causative agent for this.
So its recommended to do an xray of lumber and thoracic vertebrae to get a proper diagnosis. Blood sugar estimation is also necessary. If the pain does not cure with above therapy you may visit a doctor.
