Hello dear
I understand you concern
Your symptoms could be due to muscle spasm, cervical nerve compression.
I would suggest to consult the orthopedics surgeon and undergo clinical examination and MRI scan if required.
Doctor will give following advises:
Tablet DAN-MR
Apply volini gel
Apply war pad application
Wear soft cervical collar.
Physiotherapy and cervical traction exercise will helpful
Nerve compresssion require:
Tablet Pregabalin and Methylcobalamine
Do not keep your neck in same position for long time.
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
