It does sound like either Thoracic Outlet Syndrome or a bulging disc is pressing on a nerve root. Steroid shots along the spine can be super helpful for that last one. If you go to your doc, they will want imaging of some sort, or positional testing by a PT before they do anything that might help.

If you have to recruit someone to spot you, then you can hopefully get one of the housemates to step up.
Maybe do some ice on the area of the disc that seems to have the most pain near the spine? Good night, and 🫂💜🍀
