Hi, Thanks for your query.
Due to compression of nerve root in cervical spine there is tingling numbness and pain associated with it.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalamin medication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
