Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms might be due to cervical spondylosis.
This may be associated with pain in neck and shoulder region.

You should follow some precautions like :-
1.Avoid thick pillow.
2.Avoid lifting heavy weights.

I would also advise that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by a Neurophysician.

MRI of head and neck region will be helpful.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
