hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

Based on your history what I can understand is your neck is becoming stiff and the right side of the body.

Also, you need a thorough neuromuscular assessment as of now to assess the cervical region and the symptoms associated.

With your history I didn't understand whether you are planning to go TKR in future or already done in past.

also, for you Neck stiffness post the Neuromuscular assessment you will be advised symotomatic medicine and later stages physical therapy.

With physical therapies like - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS THERAPY, Myofascial release and exercise you will have pain level dropping down and recovery will be attained.
