hi,

thanks for providing a brief history of you.

since you mentioned your right arm pains a lot. the nature of the pain. is to be accounted here. if it is a radiating pain in the arm than it could be a spasm of the muscles of the neck.

you need to first relax the neck muscles and then do some static neck exercises. I hope you know it if not a guided physical therapist always helps.

post that some pushups and some strengthening for triceps muscle.

I am sure you will be helped.

suppose incase after doing this hot fermentation for the neck region and some exercises which I mentioned doesn't help then please consult a ortho and take an x-ray or a MRI of neck region. You will be assessed in detail .
