Neuropathy: This may be indicative of a cervical neuropathy, especially if it is associated with neck pain or arthritis. You need to see a neurologist and have an xray of the neck.

See Spine Specialist: Sounds like you might have lower cervical spine (neck) issue. Other options include an ulnar nerve neuropathy, but that doesn't explain the pain in the spine. Either way, if it is bothering you and doesn't resolve soon, please see a spine specialist or physiatrist to determine the evaluation needed for your treatment.

See your doctor : If symptoms persist; it may require an evaluation with a spinal specialist. It could be due to some pathology (example herniated disc or bone spurs) going on in the lower cervical spine say c6/7 and c7-t1. Or it may be related to a peripheral nerve irritation, or a scapulothoracic bursitis, or it may be related to 2 separate issues. This can be easily distinguished following a physical examination.
