Hi Steve..
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
The pain from shoulder blade to arm.. hand &fingers along with numbness can be due ti cervical spondylitis causing pressure/irritation to the nerve supplying to affected parts.
You would need Xray/MRI for confirmation. The treatment includes NSAID pills like Ibuprofen twuce a day.over the counter&
vitamin B12 /steroid injection locally /physiotherapy.
Please consult a spinal orthopedic surgeon.
Thanks.
