Hello dear,
Your narration seems to be related to cervical spondylosis with radiculopathy. Treatment depends upon the extent of involvement. Physiotherapy, neck collar may help in many patients. Medical treatment with pregabalin, gabapentin or amitryptiline reduces perception of pain and methylcobalamin may be useful for nerve nutrition.
Anesthetic agent in subdural space improve pain complains.
At last surgery is required.
You need to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper examination and evaluation.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health
