The symptoms you described are clearly related to cervical spine issues. Most probably it is a herniation of cervical discs.
You should do an x_ray of the cervical spine or better an MRI. Meanwhile, try to have rest. Use ice compresses. You can use Advil or naproxen for pain relief and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
