Answer: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This pain is related to pinched nerve in the corresponding disc damage.
You can take an anti inflamatory treatment Naproxen once daily for the pain and the neck stiffnes relief, and also acetominofen for some days.
Hope I have answered your query.
