You should be examined by an orthopedist because a simple cervical plexus strain couldn't fully explain all symptoms.

This needs a direct and thorough exam and likely imaging. Suspect a shoulder injury, but perhaps this also involves a brachial plexus stretch injury. Thoracic outlet syndrome might explain some of this. As advised, would start with an orthopedic surgical consultation.
