Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through your MRI reports and your complaints.
The MRI findings are not severe, and may cause neck pain and pain in the arms.
You need to get examined by a neurologist, as well as a rheumatologist. A few blood tests such as rheumatoid factor, ESR, C reactive protein, etc would be required to find out the cause of joint pains and swellings.
As of now, you can take naproxen or ibuprofen tablets for pain relief.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
