Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,
The symptoms you are experiencing is likely due to Osteoarthritis of the cervical spine. Osteoarthritis occurs due to wear and tear occurring in cartilage protecting the intervertebral joints, leading to inflammation and pain.
X-ray of Neck is needed as an initial evaluation.
You can take Advil 400 mg up to 3 times a day to relieve pain in the meanwhile.
Alternate heat and ice therapy to relieve pain and stiffness.
Sleep on comfortable bed and pillow.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, physical therapy and stretching exercises will be initiated.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider for necessary evaluation.
Hope I was able to help you
Please let me know if you need further clarifications,
