Neck: May be spasm of the spinal muscles but may also be a pinched nerve as well. Warm compresses, ibuprofen and no heavy lifting may help but you should see your doctor as well

Most likely its temp: -erary. Commonly due to sleeping in a bad posture of the head, which generally gets better by itself in 3-7 days time. Gentle massage & stretching of the neck muscles + a Muscle relaxer would be helpful. Also Aleve (naproxen) OR Ibuprofen to reduce swelling would help. If not improving or getting worse, see your PCP to be better evaluated. Good Luck.
