HI
Thanks for choosing HCM,
Occupational hazard, monotonous position of your arms causes this problem,moreover you have history of arthritis, smooth blood circulation in your arm may get disturbed, you better consult to some ortho-medics, and discus it, have nice day.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  Dr. Saurabh Gupta's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us
Pain in shoulder and swelling above collar bone could be due to arthritic changes. Shoulder strengthening exercises will be helpful to strengthen the muscle around shoulder and to decrease pain and swelling.
Doing hot fomatation and applying muscle relaxant gel will be helpful.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
