Could be forward head posture (do you have bad posture and kyphosis?), so you tend to put more pressure on the base of the neck in daily activities, so when you raise your arms, you are trying to compensate for limited shoulder mobility by stressing your neck further, which may put pressure on the C7 nerve root.

Thanks! Makes sense to me. I do have forward rolled shoulders, and forward head posture. My massage therapist has given me exercises to correct it, but the exercises often cause pain in the back of my neck. Depending on what position I am in, the pain in the back of my neck can be as bad as-or worse than-the pain in my arms.
