Hi
Thanks for writing your query.
After going through your suffering my advice would be to get the glass pieces removed .Prior to the procedure I would suggest you to get EMG/NCV test done to know the exact cause of your pain in neck along with nerve damage if at all because of glass pieces.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
