Exam-diagnosis: Your symptoms are complex and deserve further evaluation. Make an appointment for a thorough medical exam-ASAP.

Neck pain: Radicular pain. Sounds like you have a nerve root getting irritated. If it is disappearing on its own, try a trial of NSAId, cool compress and neck stretching. If this continues after a week or so probably should be checked.
