Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having osteoartheritis in your cervical spines as well giving rise to these symptoms.
Go for x-ray of cervical spines.
Go for physiotherapy, short way disthermy and if require go for cervical traction.
Avoid putting pilow under your neck.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.
