Welcome to health care magic.
1. In cervical spondylosis - there is will by bony growths - osteophytes, reduced disc spaces and bulges.
2.But if your symptoms are after the trauma - then the could be some disc slip which can not be seen on x-ray.
3.Due to which there will be a pressure effect on the chord and exiting nerve root - gives you pain.
4. In this case cervical and back exercises will be helpful in initial stages and later you may need physiotherapy.
5. As you mentioned financial difficulties, other wise MRI spine will give a clear picture about the pathology.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
