Hi, Welcome to healhcaremagic. After going through your query I concluded that you can be suffering from cervical spondylitis. You have to get your x-ray done to confirm it.I empirically treat such patients coming to me by Diacerine, glucosamine and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief.Mecobalamin can be useful to reduce neurogenic pain. You can also investigate it further by MRI neck to see compression of nerves in cervical spine.Hope your query get answered. If you have additional questions and follow up queries then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
