Even for very skilled riders, a recumbent is extremely difficult to ride in any type of gravel. Much more difficult than even a very narrow tired road bike.
What other type of riding do you enjoy? If you love MTB riding, go with a hard tail (the 29er suggested above would be great) and use slick tires. Otherwise, go with a cyclocross or road bike. Most of the cyclocross bikes are a bit more "upright" in the front end and that will likely help your neck. I love my 'cross bike for commuting. Its quicker than my MTB and more forgiving than my road bike especially with broken pavement etc.
Make sure you have a pretty new helmet, the old ones should be replaced for safety purposes and are often heavier (which is going to add to your neck ills).
As for your butt, think good seat and toughen that part of your anatomy up. A good seat is an absolute Godsend!
