Hello dear
The kind of pain you have described can be attributed to a number of causes and pin pointing one needs structured evaluation:

2. Does the skin of hand look abnormally cold or hot?
3 Are your nails breaking easily?
4 Do you have swelling of hand?
5. Are you diabetic?
6 Do you have pain at the back of neck and feel tingling in the fingers?

For the time being i can only tell you the possibilities :
1. Shoulder hand syndrome( RSD)
2. Frozen shoulder
3. Cervical spine disease
