Hello,
Thanks for your query.
There are numerous causes and conditions that produce neck pain . Presence of weakness and loss of strength in the arm suggests some neurological disturbances either in the spinal cord or in the nerves.

An MRI scan of the concerned spinal columns will help in establishing the proper diagnosis. I suggest you not make any delay in approaching a doctor as it is definitely abnormal to have neurological problems with weakness in the limbs at your age.

The treatment for your problem will depend on the condition diagnosed. Generally, with early diagnosis and early treatment, one can expect favourable outcome after treatment.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
