    When I was 26 I suffered cervical disc prolapse x2. Levels 5/6 and 6/7 right triceps,Pec and lat weakness. I am now 55 still get neck ache. Above mentioned muscle have come back to 80 percent. I find the Band pull aparts excellent for easing tension. Look up Athlean x on you tube.

    Hi

    I am not a medic but it appears you have disc degeneration and bone spurs that are conducive to osteoarthritis with referred pain, even though you are young.

    There is no cure for osteoarthritis but there are ways of dealing with it such as physiotherapy, medication, ointments, diet, exercise all can be found online.

    No doubt your physician has made recommendations to you.

    There are many online videos too.

    Good luck.........
