Hi,

Based on the history you have shared,you are having nerve entrapment in the cervical region and the cause is accidental injury or compression. You are having pain and symptoms because of this compression. I would recommend you to get appointment from a doctor and get MRI cervical spine done. Some level of relieve will be given by steroids injections but might need surgery.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
