Hi,
Please, you need not worry.
You probably have cervical nerve root compression or cervical spondylosis.
Both can be treated with regular physiotherapy with exercise and course of pregabalin.
Certain lifestyle modification may also be needed, like sleeping without a pillow.
You should get an X-ray CS done for confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Tanmoy Roy, General & Family Physician
