Nerve pain: It is difficult to say without examining but the pain you are describing sounds like nerve pain. Nerves can get pinched at the level of the neck giving burning shooting pains in the chest, arms and neck. The chest pain may be due to referred pain from a pinched nerve as well or due to inflammation of cartilage. You need to get examined by a doctor to get the correct diagnosis

Mgt: The chest pain may be musculo skeletal. Have you used a heating pad and NSAIDs.
