Question. i turned my neck to the right to try to look at my back area and i felt like i twisted it back too much. my neck had a sharp pain so i stopped twisting and looked straight. nape of neck feels tight. should i be okay?

Probably. You likely pulled something in your neck and now it is a bit tight due to the reactive inflammation. Use Ice and Heat alternating and also ibuprofen/tylenol if you can tolerate those - 2 of each every 4 hours as needed. If not consistently getting better over the next 48 hours, see a doctor.
