Hi,
X ray suggestive of cervical spondylosis ,but it does not give details of soft tissue involvement especially the extent of disc involved.Hence MRI spine is abeeter choice if no contraindication
Use cervical collar, avoid weight lifting ,you also require neuralgic drugs like pregabantin with methycobal preparation .
Consult neurologist/neurosurgeon for further plan and management
