It very much sounds like some mid neck and lower neck nerves are compressed. Have u seen a neurologist. He or she will order an MRI. Don’t do any pulling downward with your arms. Warm pack 15 min followed by very cool pack 15 min. Totally avoid sugary foods and dairy (they trigger nerve pain and inflammation, white flour foods, chocolate and MSG (nerve irritants). Take Turmeric twice a day. Advil - wait four hours then take Tylenol. I had neck PT for similar problems and got better. But bc of gravity the pain came bk yr later so I had PT again.

Could you try going to a walk in emergency center? Not the hospital a clinic ? So sorry.
