Brief Answer:
X ray and clinical evaluation needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health Care Magic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Ideally I would need to examine you clinically but that is beyond the scope.

Could you please get an X ray of cervical spine (AP and lateral) done? Please share/upload the reports and I would be able to guide you further. Alteration of the vertebral structure could lead to compression of the spinal nerves and that could alter the sensation in your limbs. That could also lead to the pains you mention.

I would encourage you to visit a doctor and to get clinically examined. Hot compress should provide some relief.
