Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi you have severe pain (L) side of neck , radiating to (L) arm.
In my practice I would diagnose it as Cervical Disc prolapse and start Pain killers, Muscle relaxants and Pregabalin .I would also recommend physiotherapy including Heat therapy and Exercises.
I would also advice an MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis , if you don't feel any relief with 10 days of treatment.
