Diabetologist 's  Response
The two possibilities to explain your symptoms are
a. cervical spondylosis- can be confirmed by an mri of the cervical spine
b. trigeminal neuralgia.

I personally think this goes more in favor of the former diagnosis. And therefore an Mri is a good option.

I will suggest meeting a neurologist cause the symptoms can be differentiated on the basis of examination.
An Mri can be scheduled accordingly
And of course the treatment may vary significantly

A course of physiotherapy with medicines like pregabalin, gabapentin and methylcobalamin may help

Best of luck
