Neck or plexus: Considerations include cervical disc compression, thoracic outlet syndrome, pectoralis minor syndrome, problems with more peripheral nerve compression. See you doctor, get examined and perhaps get imaging of neck. Conservative measures may well be very successful.

Need evaluation: Difficult to determine without an examination. Differential diagnosis could be cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in neck), brachial plexopathy, peripheral nerve entrapment such as carpal tunnel syndrome (not uncommon for cts pain to travel up the arm), or even myofascial pain with trigger points. Would suggest physiatric evaluation for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
