Your : Your neck, shoulder and left arm pain may be from a cervical disk herniation or stenosis. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor. You will probably need an MRI scan of your cervical spine. Patients may benefit from anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, steroid injections or surgery depending on the specific cause. Good luck! please see my health guides on cervical disk herniations and stenosis.

See orthopod: Could be from the shoulder or referred. Common referred sources include: abdomen, heart and neck. Shoulder sources include: arthritis, labral tears, instability, tendinitis, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, painful bony spurs etc. Shoulder blade pain can be from the neck or bursitis around the blade. A herniated disk in the neck could be causing your symptoms. See an orthopedist.
