Hi,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of a condition like cervical spondylitis.
Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan. As of now analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol can be taken.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
