Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
In your case best option appears to be surgical correction, because of diffuse disc bulge, which is compressing the nerve. If left like that for long time the nerve may be damaged beyond repair. Wearing Cervical collar is an alternative but I think surgery is better. Any way follow the advise of Neurosurgeon.
