Brief Answer:
Cervical myalgia with spondylitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With what you had described here it looks to be a classic case of cervical spondylosis. Where in the disc space in the cervical spine is reduced leading to the compression of nerves coming out of that space.
I suggest you to get Xray of the cervical spine lateral and Ap view.
First of all a spine surgeon or Orthopedic surgeon has to examine the problem carefully.
A series of physiotherapy sessions along with posture correction measures will definitely improve the condition.
You would be given few medications with Pregabalin and Methycobalamin to ease the tingling.
So next thing is to meet a spine surgeon for examination and confirmation.
