Cervical radiculitis: The symptom you are complaining of could be due to compression of one of your cervical nerve roots in your neck. It is possible that the compression is in the brachial plexus as well but I would get a physician to do a good neurological examination and consider an MRI of your cervical spine.

Evaluate Neck: If you are not improving have your doctor order a cervical spine mri. Many times a herniated disc in the neck can cause arm pain especially if you have not improved with the medications and physical therapy. If it is a herniated disc you may need evaluation from a spine specialist to determine what other options might be needed (injections, surgery, etc) to help reduce pain.
