Hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have pain radiating from the shoulder to the hand, this could be related to the pinching of the nerve root in the cervical spine. also the headache can be due to muscular tension headache.

Undergoing a thorough clinical examination should help assist further to understand the course of the pain and also will help to see if MRI can provide some more details about the soft tissue status.

Since the pain is radiating in nature this is a classical symptom of the pinched nerve in the cervical spine and can be treated well with physical therapy.

In my clinical practice, such cases are reffered to physical therapy and they respond well.
