Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
We have to rule out possible causes like cervical spondylitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
