Hi,
It can be an early sign of cervical spondylosis.
As a first line management, you can try analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for symptomatic relief. You can also use a soft cervical collar to immobilize the neck.
If symptoms persist, It is better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
