Hi and welcome to HCM.
I believe you have
osteoporosis, a condition , where the bones get brittle with age and are more prone to
fractures.
I would suggest that you get a
bone density test done and also blood screening for VIT D, calcium levels and
Rheumatoid arthritis . If not found within their normal limits, one can take supplements for these , and I would also recommend you to start an exercise routine for the fitness of your spine, to help develop your core strength and thereby maintaining your posture and disc heights, by bringing it back to its position.
Here are some specific exercises to relieve pain in your neck.
1. Self stretching for side neck muscles, by trying to touch the ear on the shoulder of the same side,
2. Do gentle neck movements in all directions. Go only as far as you can, do not push beyond from where the pain starts. The pain will slowly vanish away. Try to feel the quality of the movement as you practice this everyday. I would recommend that you do it in supine lying position .
Thank you,and take care.
