Brief Answer:
good health

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

You need to rule out cervical spondylosis first.
Have you done any X-ray cervical spine?
Are you having any vitamin D deficiency?
You said your MRI showed no major issues, but have shown it to any orthopedician, because radiology reports can't be reliable.

You can take Ultrasound for neck for 1 week.
Hot fomentation is also useful.
Neck exercises can relieve you

Get back if any query.

Regards,
Dr VSK
