hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS may be the cause for your sufferings.
possible causes;
-degenerative changes in the cervical spine with advanced ageing process
-obesity
-heavy lifting or a lot of bending and twisting
MRI scanning for neck may confirm the diagnosis
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
