I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details.

1. Based on this, you need to see a neurologist.

2. Cervical spine MRI needs to be done.

3. No other step.

4. Avoid sitting in front of computer for long hours. Simple neck extension exercises can be learnt after the MRI.
