Neck spasm?: You may have spasm in the neck muscles causing the bones (cervical spine) to be pulled tightly together. Neck injuries, poor sleep posture, poor posture in your work place (desk and computer work) or emotional strain can be factors. Get checked: depending on the cause, you may benefit from massage therapy, skeletal manipulation, physical therapy. Do rule out nerve prob. Hope that helps

Worrisome symptoms: Sounds like you may have a "pinched nerve" or possibly problems with one of the discs in your neck and/or back. You mention an MRI and some surgery. Was this of your neck and if so, what did it show? It is important to see about this group of symptoms. . Contact your doctor to see about having a physical examination and any imaging studies to clarify the cause of your symptoms. Take care.
