Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and would be glad to provide a second opinion. However, I would need you to summarize the problem that you are facing. I think that you are talking about Histrionic personality disorder. But that information is not enough to conclude whether you need a surgery.

Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports
Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the inadvertent delay in responding.
I am sorry if I have made a mistake. Let me assure you that I am not judging you and had asked for the precise facts on which I am to base my feedback. There is no entity called functional historical disorder but there is one called functional histrionic disorder which is categorically a personality disorder. I am sorry if I made a mistake but the label would not matter anyway. Let us jump to the proper management of the complaints you are seeking resolution for.
Going by your description, you have cervical spondylosis. I would need to ask whether you are doing static neck exercises. If not, I would insist you to confirm from your treating physician whether there is any contraindication. In absence of any contraindications, static neck exercises should ease your problems. You can learn the techniques by searching on youtube or by visiting a physical therapist. The next thing that I need to ask is whether you have undergone an MRI and whether it clearly depicts a spinal compression. If that is not evidently the case, the surgeon will have trouble planning for a surgery. Probably that is the reason he would not operate on you.
If you can upload the relevant investigation reports I can guide you accordingly.
Regards

Brief Answer:
A second opinion in the form of a direct visit should be helpful
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your response. This clarifies the whole scenario. Since there is an evident compression on the MRI, i.e. in presence of a definite organic pathology, I do not know why it would be referred to as functional (functional essentially points to lack of any observable pathology). In such a case, I think it would be good to visit another neurosurgeon (or may be an orthopedic surgeon), let him examine you and check your reports, and see whether he considers surgery, or if he does not, what rationale does he have.

Brief Answer:
A neurosurgeon, not neurologist, will be able to help you
Detailed Answer:
I am a general physician and not a neurologist, and there is nothing called 'gp in neurology'. Nevertheless, we deal with all sorts of cases including neurological problems. I can assure you that your problem is not something that needs the attention of a neurologist (specialist dealing with the medical aspects of neurology) but rather a neuro-surgeon (who deals with the surgical aspects of neurology). Management is either surgical or through physical therapy. The visit to the neurosurgeon has to be done in person to enable him to clinically examine you. Thereafter he can suggest whether surgery is needed and whether it would help.
