Mam you have something known as radiculopathy secondary to cervical spondylitis
These all symptoms are due to spinal cord compression pressing on the nerve root of the neck
Kindly visit nearest neurosurgeon to clinically assess you and give you treatment options
Next Steps
Wear cervical collar during daytime when sitting and standing
Remove collar while sleeping
