What Causes Severe Pain In The Upper Arm?

Every once in awhile I have upper arm pain that gets worse and then is unbearable. No sleep. By morning it is better, then disappears. Can happen to either arm, but usually left side. I might go months without it, or it can happen twice per month. Rheumatologist had no idea; wanted an MRI, which have not yet done.

the sleep also .
Reasons range from nerve entrapement in isolated segment of supply /
shoulder girdle issues / humerus head pathology / cervical spine issues /
systemic disorders as diabetes / peripheral vascular disease involving
