Impingment: I suspect the problem is a bulging or herniated intervertebral disc or a spur in you lower neck pressing on a nerve root. I'd expect more symptoms on turning your head to the left. I recommend consulting a neurologist or neurosurgeon to evaluate and advise you about treatment options. An MRI of the cervical spine will most likely be ordered.
