As you know that it is apinch nerve in neck and you can not afford very costly treatment i can suggest you following things.
1. Wear soft cervical coller
2. do not keep your neck in same position for long time.
3. Start taking pregabalin and methylcobal daily.
4. Avoid using very high pillow.
5. Learn neck muscle strengthening exercises.
