Further Clinical evaluation necessary...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Well, the pain and apparent freezing feeling could be due to some nerve compression at the mid-lower neck regional (intervertebral disk space) which usually runs downwards to the extremities...
Since there's numbness, you should get yourself checked up by an Orthopedics, a thorough clinical examination along with some relevant investigations (Lumbo-Sacral spinal X-ray, Metabolic profile assessment) may also be needed thereafter...Treatment will be depending on the findings...
Meanwhile, for symptomatic relief, take complete rest...avoid twisting/bending the neck, sit in an upright posture and, refrain from any unsupervised exercises for the time being as well...
You may take tab Hifenac-P after some food for the next 2-3days...
Take Care
Kind Regards
