How to get rid of it now? Its been more than 15 days and the pain was negligible 2 days back. Intially i thought that its ok now, but since 2 days, its paining like hell.

Need to clinically examine. Could be cervical radiculopathy. Start with neck exercises, posture care , daily walk , hot fomentation.

Hello Practo User, This is going to happen someday,as your job is sitting for a long time. Wrong posture has increased the pressure on your neck nerves and last two days it has increased.
Next Steps
Avoid sitting , complete bed rest for one week at least, NO massage or local application on the neck. Keep your neck as straight a's possible.
