Several things: Possibilities include a pinched or inflamed nerve in the neck, inflammation of the nerve bundles in the shoulder (the "plexus") and problems with one or more nerves running out through the arm. In the us i would recommend seeing a neurologist or physical medicine doctor. Don't know how easy it is to see one where you are.

Pinched nerve: Neck pain that runs down the arm with or without numbness and tingling sounds like a pinched nerve in the neck. This is usually caused by a protruding disc or bone spur touching one of your spinal nerves as it leaves your neck. This can often improve on it's own with rest and anti-inflammatories, but if your pain lasts greater than one week or gets worse see your physician.
