cervical spondylosis should also be considered.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated to rule out cervical spondylosis.
An MRI of neck region will be helpful.
Clinical evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon can help in planning further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
