Brief Answer:
Hello. You need both x-rays and an MRI of your neck.

Detailed Answer:
Hello. You need a full evaluation of your neck with x-rays and an MRI.

This could be multiple problems--degenerative disk disease, one or more ruptured disks, facet arthropathy (arthritis), or a combination of all of these.
