Possibly: Pain that severe needs to be worked up by your doctor in person. He/she will listen to you, perform an examination and possibly order some tests to see what's wrong with you.

Yes: Thank you for the question. There are many potential causes, but among the most common is the irritation of a nerve in the neck. The term "cervical radiculopathy" refers to the pain that can run down the arm into the neck from a nerve irritation in the neck from a spur or a disc herniation. Usually a physical exam and appropriate imaging studies such as an MRI can diagnose the problem.
