See below: Pain that runs down the arm with or without numbness and tingling sounds like a pinched nerve in the neck. This is usually caused by a protruding disc or bone spur touching one of your spinal nerves as it leaves your neck. This can often improve on it's own with rest and anti-inflammatories, but if your pain lasts greater than one week or gets worse see your physician

When I am in a very quiet place, literally no noice and I turn my head to left and right. I can hear a shaving noise in my neck. I do experience tingling sensations in my fingers sometime or like a muscle pain.
