I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have read your query.
Due to compression of cervical nerve root there can be tingling numbness in your arm and pain.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

Many of my patients get relief with neurotropics like methylcobalamine and pregabalin.So you can also start them consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to neck. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
