well i suffer from the kind of pain your describing and its all to do with my posture,the way i sit and my big boobs (which i;m sure won't affect you). I would go to your docs first to get it checked out but i have had acupunture in the past thats always worked - but as i go back to my old ways it comes back!
Oh, this sounds familiar to the neck/shoulder thing i have going on.
In my case it's due to the way i sleep.
I always fall asleep on my side (either side) but i always wake up on my back with my right arm bent above my head, on the pillow.
I suppose i do it for a reason but it don't half bloody hurt every morning! It means i have discomfort throughout the day and tingling at times.
Other than securing my arm by my side i don't think there's much i can do about it... and i don't much fancy doing that!
I'd go to the docs and try and discover if it is something 'internal' ( re W~M's Mr Bowie) or something postural.
And good luck!

this sounds like some of the symptoms of cervical spondylitis. I've had this for several years now, and although not disabling can be troublesome. See your GP and explain all the symptoms. He/She will probably refer you to a hospital for a neck x-ray. This will confirm one way or another what is causing it. This is a common medical condition that affects people to varying degrees.
