a bulging disk at l4 and degenerative disk at l5 and s1 is degenarative process of yiur lower spine and same process is going on in your cervical or neck area.
first you have to do a mri of your cervical spine then we can go accordingly.
till then take hot water fomentation, ointment massage ,gentle exercise of neck and lower back.
