Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck and nerve conduction studies after consultation.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
Do regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
