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.
