Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to pinched nerve.
It occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord.
I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication for the pain such as Ibuprofen.
I also recommend physical therapy and stretching exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
