Hi you have cervical impingement on one of the nerves with numbness and pain (L) upper limb. With symptoms that you have described I would diagnose it as C6 radiculopathy( Pressure on C6 nerve root). My Prescription would read - Pain killers , Muscle relaxants and Physiotherapy. It might take 2-3 weeks for good relief.
