HI
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems like you are having Cervical radiculopathy. This is a condition where there occurs compression of the nerve in between the neck bones . Due to this compression you will experience pain in back of neck, shoulder , arm hands , Throat and back.
In this regard I advise you to get MRICervical Spine and revert back. Till then you can use Pregabalin which shall give you good relief. Kindly get a prescription for Pregabalin.
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
