arm pain

I have pain in my right arm between my elbow and shoulder. It started about 1 to 1 1/2 months ago. I was a smoker for 24 yrs and decided to quit cold turkey. Done VERY well. Haven't smoked yet but this is when the pain in my arm started. First I woke up with the worst sore throat I think I have ever had. Over two days I had a full blown infection in my lungs (as usual). This is not out of the ordinary for a smoker. But the arm pain is awful. I feel it starting on the other side also. I do know that I didn't feel this until I finished my antibiotic they gave me for my chest. I do wonder if the illness is related to my arm pain. On the other hand... all of you make me think it's not related at all.
