Neck Pain: Good day; until u can tell if your sore neck is improving on a daily basis try the following: Attempt to gently increase range of motion by turning your head 10 times each way a few times a day. A potent Menthol Analgesic Gel applied 4x a day. Hot showers and ice packs as needed. Contact doctor if noticeable improvement in 5 days.

Yes: Yes, particularly if you begin developing pain or numbness in you arm. It is not uncommon to wake up with what they describe as a “crick” in their neck that then progresses to a cervical radiculopathy.
