it looks like your symptoms most likely due to nerve compression at cervical spine level. cervical spine disc generation may be a possibilty. x ray cervical spine is useful for a diagnosis. cervical collar and drugs such as NSAIDS , Gabapentin may helpul to reduce your symptoms. it is better you can consult a neurosurgeon or orthopaedic surgeon for further advise.
