General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level. For further assessment you may require MRI neck, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation. You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation. For pain you can take tablet Acetaminophen.

Do regular physical therapy after physiotherapist consultation. Apply Diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
