Hi, As you have mentioned the nature of pain in your right arm it is most likely a radiculopathy that is pain due pressure on nerve root it is usually due to cervical (neck) spine problem. Pain is not usually a symptom of stroke. In stroke the usual symptoms are numbness or weakness in either one limb (arm or leg) or half side of body. Which may manifest as imbalance while walking, inability walk, unable to button or unbutton shirt or hold some object in hands or unable to lift arms.
