Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion that could be cervical radiating pain due to spinal disc herniation that may cause such neuropathic pain .
Try to avoid heavy lifting , over using or vigorous movements , physiotherapy , yoga , hot massages with topical gels , NSAIDS painkillers like advil tabs when needed , B12 vitamin supplementation , muscle relaxants will be helpful .
If pain persists i recommend further imaging by MRI scan on your spine for proper evaluation and management .
