Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required. Please consult a neurologist. The treatment is to remove the compression. You have to discuss the best treatment option with a neurologist, which can range from medication to physiotherapy to traction, cervical collars or even surgery. Alternatively you can visit a chiropractor or a physical therapist and learn some exercises which you can do to relieve the compression, but consulting a neurologist is a must. Apply a local analgesic and apply a heating pad and see if it helps.
Take care!

I am re-posting  my answer to some one else with similar complaints: "The sternocleidomastoid muscles are most likely those which are giving you problems. There are two of these muscles in the superficial layers of the anterior (front) portion of the neck that make the shape of a “V”, They run from the center of the sternum (breastbone) and the clavicle (collarbone) up to the mastoid process, a bone in the skull located behind the ears. That is why you get some relief when you massage your temples.  If you cannot afford a massage, you can get relief from massaging the muscle from the middle of the neck up to the corner of the jaw bone.  Push up under the corner of the jaw bone and you will feel the tight band that connects to the spot next to your ears.  Start massaging that area under the jaw bone then work your way around the corner of the jaw towards the ear. If you have a massaging vibrator, I recommend using it on each side until the muscle releases" The arm pain is usually relieved when you stop the spasm of the muscle I described above.  Google "sternocleidomastoid muscles" for a picture to see where these muscles are located to help massage them.  good luck!
