Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. Frombyour description of the pain, this is likely to be related to your cervical spine. You may have a herniated disc, cervical spondylitis or other conditions of the spine.
I suggest an MRI of your neck would help with diagnosis and a visit to an orthopedic specialist. In the meantime take paracetamol and ibuprofen.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
