Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your complaints are related to chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. Unfortunately there is not too much to be done in this clinical situation.
But, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study to exclude possible spinal canal stenosis in this region, which may need surgery. A cervical collar can help reduce the pain.
Hope you will find this answer helpful !
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
