My right arm is aching from my shoulder to my wrist and my hand is numb. also the pain shoots down my arm. what could be wrong with it?

Sounds like you have: Carpal or cubital syndrome, depending on which fingers are getting numb. Another possibility would be neck problem with a pinched nerve which causes pain/numbness in the hand/arm.
