See a physician.: You probably have a trapezius strain. You should consult your physician. Your symptoms are caused due to muscle spasm. Your physician can prescribe you some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication and muscle relaxants and or physical therapy which will help to alleviate your pain.

Several possibilitie: The most common cause is muscular. Spam, strain or pull. Swollen lymph nodes could also cause this. Try massage and anti inflammatories, like alleve. If things don't abate, see your dr.
