Brief Answer:
Pinched cervical nerve most likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I have read your question and here is my advice.
In most cases, a pinched nerve on your neck may cause such symptoms.
Conditions that may result in such issues include cervical spondylosis, herniated disc disease, etc.
Getting evaluated by a spine Specialist (Orthopedic surgeon, Neurosurgeon) and by imaging studies such as X-rays and MRI of your cervical spine is necessary to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment.
In the meantime, please use warm compression periodically on your neck and painkillers such as Acetaminophen and Diclofenac.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
