Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine.
Kindly do MRI cervical spine, nerve conduction study.
till then you can take tab. tylenol and you may require tab. pregabalin after consultation.
Apply diclofenac gel with heating pads locally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
