See your doctor.: It is important for you to be seen by a physician. Most causes of neck pain/stiffness are minor, but there are some that need treatment (for example meningitis). A physician can figure out what is causing it.

Anti-inflammatory: Neck pain usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. It is common for neck pain to refer to the head as well as shoulder blade. Early treatment options include a short course of nsaids (advil, aleve), gentle massage, moist heat, and focusing on posture. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
