Hi,
In my opinion that could be cervical disc herniation due to a chiari malformations which is very rare, while cysts, ganglias, aging, over lifting heavy objects, vigorous movements are more common. For my patients I recommend x-rays, MRI for proper diagnosis and evaluation but for now some hot massages with topical muscle relaxants, physiotherapy and yoga and some bed rest will be fine. Please consider a positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
