Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest to avoid movements of the shoulder that can trigger the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue you should follow up with a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
