If you have sciatica type pain in your neck, then you have to do mri cervical spine for diagnosis and then according start treatment for that by consulting your doctor. Because when pain due to nerve compression there is only temporary relief by ointment, not its role in definitive treatment of radiculopathy because of nerve compression.
