Neck pain: I hear your concerns. I had neck pain for 6 weeks and nothing worked until i got a memory foam contour pillow. Believe it or not, the pain was gone the next A.M. It may be that simple. Often, chiropractor manipulations are enough but depends on the chiropractor. If nothing works, it may be worthwhile to see a doc just to make sure there is nothing serious going on.

Magesium: You are doing at good job at being thorough. York doc can check your magnesium level. If low, that or other minerals can cause muscle cramping. A clinical psychologist can help you learn guided imagery and breathing exercises which can be very helpful also. Peace and good health.
