One possibility is that of cervical spondylosis. It will be pertinent to seek treatment from a medical professional like your general practitioner, who can order an X ray for you.
Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in the neck. As the disks dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs). Cervical spondylosis is very common and worsens with age. For most people, cervical spondylosis causes no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they typically include pain and stiffness in the neck. Sometimes, when the spinal cord or nerve roots become pinched, one might experience tingling, numbness and weakness in the arms, hands, legs or feet. Do seek evaluation early. Physiotherapy and neck exercises may help in some cases.
