Need more hx: If not done so, you need an MRI of neck to rule out disc disease or nerve involvement. See your doctor as soon as possible. Massage therapy and chiropractic consult may be helpful.

Get checked: You could have injured or shifted your neck vertebrae. Your doctor might consider imaging given the nature of the injury and the length of time you've had pain.
