Hi Mr Santosh,

I have noted your query.

Based on symptoms, you seem to be suffering frmo cervical spondylitis, with a pinched nerve in the neck. This can be confirmed by doing MRI of cervical spine. Adequate treatment would include medications such as pregabalin, physiotherapy and soft cervical collar.

I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries.

Best wishes,
