History is indicative of nerve compression at the neck but needs to be confirmed with examination findings.
Next Steps
You can get a consultation with me or any other orthopedist for greater clarity.
Till then, use a soft cervical collar for neck support. Do not bend your neck forward for long periods. Apply warm water bags and pain relief spray.
