Dear Sir/Madam, Thanks for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, you are having a cervical disc symptoms, for the correct diagnosis you will need an MRI scanning of your cervical spine after consultation with a spine surgeon. to me it appears that you will need surgery to recover form your symptoms or you may have reduction of pain but weakness. I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
