Hello,
As these symptoms guide me to think more towards the cervical spine disc Degenerative changes as it's a classic symptom of Radiculopathy along with muscle weakness. An MRI is suggested for the cervical spine.
The first thing is to use the cervical collar, use hot water fermentation, correction of the posture. Once the pain level drops somewhere between 5-6 in the visual analogue pain and of 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain then exercise can begin for the neck muscles and upper limb as a whole.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases reported with similar complains have changed in the cervical spine and responds well to the above-mentioned procedure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
