Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are having cervical spondylosis but it is very uncommon in your age so I think it should be confirmed by x ray. You are already taking analgesic and vitamin D. You are doing exercises and yoga etc. Along with above measures glucosamine will be helpful in spondylosis. MRI cervical spine will be useful investigation for further management.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Your MRI is near normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back
1. Your MRI is near Normal. It doesn't suggest you are having cervical spondylosis. Your MRI shows mild cervical disc prolapse at multiple levels.You are having very low vitamin D which require vitamin D supplements to cover the deficiency which you are taking.
2. I think stress may be contributing to your pains. So I thing you should reduce your stress level instead of job quit.
3. I doesn't know about benefits of gelatin in it.
4. 4-5 painkillers a month are unlikely to cause serious harm but it is better to be careful and got kidney and liver function test at intervals to see any harm.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Everything else already discussed.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
