Probably: The term cervical radiculopathy refers to symptoms that stem from a " pinched nerve" in the neck. Your pain follows the C7 nerve pattern and so it very well could be the source of your symptoms. An MRI would be the test of choice to confirm the disgnosis.

Symptoms of a pinch: A pinched nerve can occur in an area that affects the arm and the shoulder. Often though, soreness is not the symptom. Suspicious symptoms would be numbness, tingling, or inability moving you arm a certain way, due to weakness. Was there an injury before these symptoms started? Muscle and tendon problems exist here also.
