Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
u seem to have a compressed nerve in the neck region which generally occurs due to heavy weight lifting. such work causes the cervical disc to prolapse backwards causing the nerve to get pressed. u should stop picking heavy weight if u want to get cured. at present i suggest u to get an xray and an mri of neck done to find out the extent of compression. analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets, cervical traction ,hot fomentttion,physiotherapy should help. avoid using pilklows during sleepin. instead use a rolled cloth under ur neck.Nothing to worry about.     
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
