At : At this point, you should look into seeing an ortho doc, or perhaps a sports medicine physician for further medical imaging and/or they could even do injections into the area if needed. Oral meds are good, but have you tried topical nsaids or perhaps the flector patch (diclofenac)?

Get checked: If it is severe it could be a pinched nerve or herniated disc in your neck. If it is just pain and not numb/tingling then can try a chiropractor or massage therapy. If it persist more than a few days, see a spine specialist.
