Hi, Thanks for your query. Your symptoms look like the features of nerve compression. You may take painkillers and if need be, tablet gabapentin, for this numbness. It is a stronger painkiller for naturopathies. Your doctor will know the doses.Also, an X-ray cervical spine may help in diagnosis of any pathology there. Thus, I would recommend that you see an orthopedic surgeon and get appropriate investigations done including it B12 levels in blood.* All your symptoms are suggestive of Cervical disc disease with radiculopathy (pressure on nerve roots). An MRI scan of the cervical spine diagnoses the condition. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic like pregabalin and methylcobalaminmedication can be started consulting your doctor. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
