Brief Answer:
Cervical spondylosis to consider.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

Since there are tight muscles on your neck, cervical spine spondylosis ( degerative changes ) should be considered and evaluated further.

You are in the right track since you will see your Doctor and you will ask for x-rays, these are necessary steps in achieving a correct diagnosis.

In my opinion, you should ask for dynamic x-rays and MRI of your cervical spine as well in order to complete the necessary examinations for an accurate diagnosis.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
