What Does Pain In The Rib Cage And Upper Arm Indicate?

I have several preexisting illnesses: psoriatric spondylitis, underactive thyroid disease, an autoimmune disease, among others, which are controlled with medications. I am on several anti inflammatory medications, meds for anxiety & sleep deprivation. I have had pain on my right side on my middle part of my ribcage. I have pain in the front, side, and especially in the back. It is also in my upper arm from my underarm down to my the elbow area. Pain also in my back, in between my spine & shoulder blade. I had surgery for 3 bulging discs C3-7, in the summer 2016, wherein they put a plate & 4 screws. This is day two without any relief. Any ideas?
