Radiculopathy: You may have a bulging intervertebral disc or arthritic spur pressing on a nerve root in your lower neck. An MRI would be helpful in diagnosing your problem. You could try wearing a soft neck collar if there's significant pain on neck motions. A neurologist can evaluate you and order appropriate tests and discuss treatment options like physical therapy with traction depending upon the findings
