Hi, Thanks for your query. All your symptoms are suggestive of Cervical disc disease with radiculopathy (pressure on nerve roots). An MRI scan of the cervical spine diagnoses the condition. Treatment includes 1. Use of cervical collar helps in immobilisation and brings relief. 2. Medical drugs like pain killers - acetaminophen/ibuprofen and muscle relaxants might be helpful. 3. Methylcobalamin supplements are also recommended for nerve compression symptoms. 4. Cervical isometric exercises are beneficial to maintain the strength of the neck muscles. Neck and upper back stretching exercises, as well as light aerobic activities, also are recommended under the guidance of a physical therapist. 5. Hot fomentation helps in relieving acute symptoms. 6. You can avoid using a pillow I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
