Brief Answer:
Suspect Cervical spondylosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to address your query.

Your history is suggestive of cervical spondylosis(compression of nerve roots in the neck). I would order X ray of C-spine and evaluate you further. It is also recommended to use a neck collar and muscle relaxant (chlorzoxazone). Your local doctor will know about X-ray, collar and the medicine. In the interim, local application of hot/cold bag 2-3/day will alleviate stiffness.

Hope this answers your query.
