Answer: Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you may have cervical disc prolapse or brachial plexus roor tear so i advice you meet a spine surgeon get examination done followed by x ray and if nothing found get mri of whole spine to see disc and spine status which helps to come to a diagnosis
