Dear patient
if Xray is showing calcification of nuchal ligament and reduced disc space then further investigation such as mri should be done. It gives idea about nerve compression and the condition of spinal cord. Additional details about pain generators such as facet joints can be diagnosed. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. If report is abnormal you need to consult spine surgeon nearby you. Meanwhile start tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief.
