Hello,

As with history, it appears more of the nerve root entrapment in the cervical spine. I will recommend to use the cervical soft collar. This will help maintain the joint space and release the pressure from the nerves.

The pain will come down for the spine of the scapula and also the upper limb. Do hot water fermentation to release muscle spasm in the upper back on the left side and neck region.

After a week or so start simple static neck exercises and upper limb exercises in low intensity. You should do well.

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

Take care
