This could be due to a misalignment in your neck or a disc that is degenerating causing an impingement (pinching) of the nerves in the neck. You may not experience pain in all the places at once. I would recommend that you start with a good medically based chiropractor. They will be able to tell you if it is a misalignment or a degeneration. If it is a misalignment, they will be able to help with an adjustment. However, if it is a disc, chiropractic care can help to a certain point(especially with a DRS machine), but once it gets past that certain point, an orthopedic surgeon should be consulted. I would not recommend going to the surgeon first. Try more conservative treatments first. The nerves for the shoulder, neck and elbow all come from the brachial plexus.
