Hello,
This sounds like some sort of nerve irritation. Any of us can have such a pain for unknown reasons. If the problem persists then there may be something in the arm or shoulder that is impinging upon a nerve. You would need an exam and testing to figure out the exact cause. If it does not happen again then I would not worry about it.
Regards
