Hello there
Have you taken an xray of your cervical spine...please upload it here if you have.
Do you get tingling/numbness/pain in hands or arm?
Apart from upward movements...are any other movements of neck painful ?
Do get back with answer to above questions for proper analysis of your problem and treatment plan.
