Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Your features suggest towards cervical disc prolapse.you didn't mentioned your age.
Any way, In cervical degenerative changes nerves can be involved. First you need X-ray of cervical spine in AP and Lateral view. MRI scan of cervical spine can also be done as it shows exact nerve involvement.
Treatment includes physiotherapy and surgical.
Swollen glands in both sides of neck may be due to infective etiology.certainly there are many other reasons. you need proper evaluation.

Take Care
