Hello,
It is a typical presentation of Cervical spondylitis. Here the cervical nerves may be compressed due to erosion of the neck bones.
I would advise an X ray and MRI of the neck to confirm the diagnosis. Regular physiotherapy for neck muscle strengthening and analgesics for pain is needed. Multivitamin and calcium may be added.
