Can a strain in your neck cause your muscle to twitch, cramp and some trouble swallowing? it felt like a level three strain cause the pain very sharp.

Muscle strain: Yes muscle stain can cause twitching. Try lying flat in bed without a pillow when sleeping. Use an electric pad set on low so you don't get burned, or you can try an icepack, whichever is more comfortable for you.
