Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, your problem is due to cervical disc prolapse with pressure on one of the nerves. I suggest pain killers, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy. A combination of Pregabalin and Methycobalamine may also help. The diagnosis can be confirmed with an MRI.
Thanks.
