Hello ,thanks for writing to us

I have studied your case.

This kind of pain is due compression of nerve due to spinal disc bulge.
Nerve compression leads to radiating pain to arm, which gets aggravated in a particular position.

You need methylcobalamine, muscle relaxant with analgesic by consulting doctor.
Here are my suggestions to you:
Avoid lifting weights

Continue neck exercises
Physiotherapy – SWD (Short Wave Diathermy), IFT (Interference Therapy). will help you

YOU NEED MRI SPINE

Take care,
I find this answer helpful
