Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to cervical radiculopathy, commonly called a "pinched nerve".
It occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. I recommend using painkillers such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
