It : It sounds very possible that you have a spasm of your trapezius muscle, probably from the fall. Often when a muscle has been strained it will spasm causing pain. Firm pressure over the spastic muscle often triggers it to relax, allowing for it to function better. Local heat and Ibuprofen also help. Best wishes.
