[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a spinal canal stenosis. I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI to exclude this possibility. In the case this diagnosis is confirmed, you should consult with a neurosurgeon and discuss surgery as a possible treatment option. Meanwhile, I would recommend holding a cervical collar, which would help relieve the pain. Painkillers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen) and muscle relaxants (Flexeril) would also help. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
