As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at neck.
To confirm diagnosis, kindly do MRI cervical spine and nerve conduction study.
you may require tab. pregabalin and nortrypltilin. till then you can take tab. tylenol.
Apply diclofenac gel with heating pads. Do regular physical therapy.
