Chiropractor: I had a lot of shoulder and neck and back pain after having a baby. I found chiropractor and massage therapist were super helpful, in addition they give you exercises to help stretch out those muscles that are impinging on your nerves. Worked wonders for me. In meantime, warm heat, like an electric heat pad, can help, as well as warm bath and ibuprofen.

Carry on other side: Rest your neck and left shoulder as much as possible. Would consider getting a cervical mri.
