Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to irritation of the brachial prexus (the shoulder nerves). For this reason, I recommend performing a cervical spine and shoulder MRI in order to examine the nerves in this region. Pregabaline can help with the pain, coupled with physiotherapy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
