I think I may have pinched a nerve in my neck. Pain near my right shoulder blade and radiating down my arm for weeks, and when I bend my chin towards my chest. Would you suggest seeing a chiro or physical therapist? Any stretches or exercises you can recommend?

If its persisted for weeks you should definitely be seen - sounds like a nerve compression. They usually treat it with rest, anti-inflammatory meds like naproxin and time - they usually resolve in a few days. I prefer orthopedic doc or chiropractor
