I have a different kind of arm pain due to an incident, please suggest what to do, looking for help

Hi,

My name is Shubham. Let me tell you about an incident that happened with me around 2.5 years back in 2019. I was perfectly healthy. I was coming back home from my college. I was at the station and I couldn't find a cab so I decided to go via bike. However I had lots of luggage. I called in Ola bike and I sat behind. I had two very heavy quilts in both my arms and I was constantly holding them till the time I reached home. I also had a bag which was on my shoulders. After that day, both my arms started paining very badly. I took some painkillers but they only gave temporary relief. However after few months my left hand recovered (I am right-handed). But my right hand did not recover. I waited in hope that my right hand would also recover. However, it did not. Finally in 2021 I consulted an orthopaedic doctor. He prescribed me medicines for 3 months but no relief. After that I went to a shoulder specialist, he did 4-5 X-rays but all came out fine. After that I went to a neurologist and he suggested a nerve test (can't remember the name) and an MRI of the cervical spine. They also came out good and the problem couldn't be diagnosed. After that I also went for physiotherapy (IFT for left arm) but no relief. I still have a lot of irritation in the tricep of my right arm. It is not a normal muscle pain which we usually get, it is some peculiar irritation which I have and I can clearly feel a difference between my left and right arm. Please suggest how to diagnose this. Should I go for an arm MRI? If yes then is there any specific type of arm MRI which I should go for? Should I also go for a shoulder MRI? What can be the possible areas that could be affected?
