Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It could be degerative discs and spine disease that is causing your symptoms.
MRI of cervical and upper thoracic spine is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
In first stages, NSAID drugs use and physical therapy are indicated.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Greetings.
