Hi,

It's likely a spondylosis of both cervical and lumbar. It's a spine problem, where you get pain and other symptoms due to compression of nerves between spins. So, it will cause symptoms along the course of nerves. You will need a Vit D level, cervical spine and lumbar spine AP/ Lat view tests.

The treatment for this is physiotherapy to release the nerve compression, traction, cervical collar, medicine and if nothing helps then surgery. Till that time you can have a tab Neurobion once a day, which is a vitamin and Diclofenac gel for local application.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
