Sammy. It is probably a pinched nerve. I have one affecting my left side, which started in the 90s. Lately I've been experiencing some symptoms on my right side. Supposedly the pinching is caused by an arthritic condition in the spinal portion of the neck area causing a reduction of the hole (fossa) where the nerve exits and causes the pinching. The irritation on my left side subsided over the years. I think because the body becomes accustomed to the constant irritation and begins to block it out.
