Question
hi,my problem started when i felt a little dizzy especially if i woke up after 2 hours of sleep and it started to be there a little dizzy all the time [progressed in about 5 days].
during that i always had stiff neck and i was messaging it and it hurt tooo much.
after these 5 days of dizziness and painfully neck i started to feel throbbing [not pain]allover back of neck reaching upper head.for 2 days i slept and rested but it does not go away.
i found it less when i steady my neck with a collar.

a cervical Xray showed a muscle spasm on  my right side.a cervical rib [which my doctor says is not related at all to my complains]

my doctor prescribed muscle relaxants and some local ointment to the spasmed muscle 2days and the throbbing went away but

i am still dizzy when i work around the house[long straight walks doesn't make me allot dizzy but inside the house more]

the problem is with the bit of confusion i have  most of the times it sometimes the fog clears i do not why [may be after a cup of coffe.but lasts for few hours and it stars after i get up from bed and start to do house work i also feels sometimes with this fog nausea, blurred vision.

the doctor asked for MRI cervical spine says [early degenerative disc changes with mild effects at c6-c7 and c4-c5 with slight indentation of the subarachinoid space at these levels.

uric acid ,create, blood sugar are normal.

Answer
Sonata,

What you describe sounds like "cervicogenic dizziness," caused by reflexive connections that connect the neck muscles, balance centers of the ears, and eyes.

You may read more at somatics.com/conditions.htm.

I have dealt with many cases of cervicogenic dizziness.  It resolves immediately upon retraining of the neck muscles (which have been hurting in your because they are so tight).  Retraining is accomplished by means of a process called "somatic education," which quiets the muscular reaction and brings muscles and movements back into free, voluntary control.

See the article on whiplash injuries, also, at somatics.com/page4b.htm.

Sessions with a practitioner (Hanna somatic educator) are best (list at somatics.com/practitioners).  Second best are self-help programs for retraining control of the neck musculature.  Sessions with a Feldenkrais practitioner would also be helpful.
