   Hi,
   The most probable suspect is the radial nerve. This can get pinched in two areas, the neck and between the clavicle and first rib. The most likely source is the neck, to find out for sure, you need to see a Chiropractor. He will pull on your neck, (traction it manually), to see if the pain in your arm ceases. Next he will raise your arm to see if it makes it worse, them he will push the two bones apart to see if it goes away. In less than a minute, a good D.C. can differentiate wether it is a neck or shoulder problem. If you need a referral, let me know of the doctors closest to you, I will call them and make sure they are good.
   
   Thanks
