How old are you?  I was told that I have arthritis in my neck, and that as we get older most everyone has some.  I also have a herniated disc in my neck which causes lots of pain.  Have you had an MRI?

I am 32/female.  Headache most of the time, much like a tension headache.  CONSTANT nausea.  Tingling in right arm, half way down my back just to the right of my spine, and sometimes tingling up into my scalp.  It feels like there is constant pressure just under my occipital (just above the nape of your neck) that won't go away no matter what I do.  I'm not sure what other tests, if any, they are going to do or if they'll send me to a specialist or anything.  A CNP at my primary care gave me the results of the x-ray (she is also the one who ordered the x-ray).  For now they are giving me fenergan(spelled wrong, I know) for nausea and darvocet for pain.  800mg motrin does nothing but upset my already upset stomach.  I also just had my gallbladder and appendix out this past November, so I'm just falling apart!  lol
