Hi, to begin with, please stop all medication you are taking as mentioned above. Muscle relaxants should not be used inadvertently. If symptoms are persisting still, consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation.
Wish your a speedy recovery.
No. A person can ease the symptoms of cervical pain/spondylosis with a few simple neck exercises.
1. Neck stretch
Keep your body straight.
Push your chin forward in a way that stretches the throat.
Softly tense the neck muscles.
Hold this for 5 seconds.
Return your head to its center position.
Push your head back with the chin held high, and hold for 5 seconds.
Carry out 5 repetitions.
2. Neck tilt
Tilt your head forward so that the chin touches the chest.
Softly tense the neck muscles.
Hold this for 5 seconds.
Return the head to a neutral position.
Carry out 5 repetitions.
3. Neck tilt (side-to-side)
Lean your head down towards either shoulder, leading with the ear.
Softly tense the neck muscles.
Hold this for 5 seconds.
Return your head to the center and repeat on the other shoulder.
Carry out 5 repetitions.
4. Neck turn
Turn your head to one side as far as it remains comfortable, being sure to keep your chin at a level height.
Tense your neck muscles for 5 seconds.
Return the head to a central position.
Repeat on the opposite side.
Repeat this exercise 5 times on each side.
Kindly opt for a homeopathic treatment. Some diatery control and mild exercises would also help.
Taking pain killers will give a temporary relief followed by much pain afterwards. A natural therapy is required. Detailed case history will guide me to advice you better.

Based on your symptoms you are likely to have a disc problem. But there is no significant nerve compression. You need to go for regular walking which will give support and increase the muscle strenght of your back finally lowering the pain.
You can continue physio if you find it useful.
No need for MRI now.
