Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are having cervical spondylitis. In this condition there is pinch nerve in the neck and that causes pain in whole shoulder and hand. I do not think that any massage is going to give you any relief. I would you recommend you to show it to orthopaedic surgeon and get your MRI of the cervical spine.
I have following suggestions for you.
1. Neck muscle strengthening exercises.
2. Intermittent cervical traction exercises.
3. Tablet Pregabalin and Meyhylcobal daily
4. Avoid sudden jerking, weight lifting .
I hope these steps will help you in managing this condition. If there is any other question, feel free to ask that.
thanks.
