Hello and thank you for your question. The most likely cause of the neck pain is from the degenerative changes shown on the xray of the cervical spine. This means that there is some arthritis and possibly disc disease in the neck. Both of these conditions could cause neck pain. Acetaminophen can be helpful if liver function is normal. Thank you for using HCM.
