Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
In my opinion this neither carpal tunnel syndrome nor muscle sprain.
It is due to compression of nerves at the cervical region , so pain is all over the area, where these nerves supply.
Cervical spondylitis is the main cause , so M R I will reveal the cause.
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
