Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Best for your condition is not to lift weights at all, but since it is a life matter you can lift weights around 5 kg or 11 lbs. If you have to lift heavier weights, then do it with entire column straitened, not bending especially the neck. A cervical rigid collar may help. Hope this helps.
