General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi Welcome to HCM!
I can appreciate your problem of suspected nerve pinching in the neck.
The features described in your case are highly suggestive of Neuralgia (could be due to nerve pinching).

Kindly consult your doctor for proper assessment and relevant investigations to confirm the diagnosis and possible use of Gabapentine with Baclofen tablets.
Best regards.
