Hello,
Your symptoms look like to be due to cervical spondylosis. Please get an XRay Neck, sr. Vit. D levels, sr. clacium and phosphorous levels.
If there are even early cervical changes then you should ideally see an orthopedician and get the needed drugs. He would also teach you neck exercises which are to be done everyday.

Donot bend neck or make sudden neck movements for sometime.
Sleep using a normal small cotton stuffed mild cushioned pillow and avoid soft big mattresses.

Pease get the above tests and proceed further. Dont worry, you wil surely get better.

Good luck.
