Unfortunately, at age 25 yrs., you may be facing many years of challenges with degenerative joint problems in your neck. Pain management should include biofeedback skills, meditation, acupuncture, and McKenzie Neck Exercises besides physical therapy. Although injections and/ or surgery might be considerations, would suggest these as a last resort...
