It : It is normal to be generally sore and hurt after an injury, but your neck pain is concerning. You should see your sports medicine doctor or preferably spine surgeon to rule out spinal injury.

See your doctor: If you had a sports injury, there are lots of sports medicine clinics, but any primary care provider can assess you and get xrays if necessary. Both for the sake of your health, and for insurance and liability issues later you need to get a physical examination and whatever else is needed as suggested by the exam asap.
