Brief Answer:
Need to rule out cervical spine disease

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam

Considering the symptoms referee mainly to the cervical area, it's advisable to evaluate for the Spine compression through an MRI Spine.

Deposit shots usually are not associated with symptoms you described.

Cervical spine disease is usually associated with numbness and tingling sensation.

Further management if any is largely based on test reports.

Meanwhile, I advise oral pills of MATILDA ER one pill once a day for 3 months to prevent any imminent nerve damage.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
