Most likely muscle: While this is most likely muscular pain, any change in back or neck pain when you have history of a syrinx, should be examined to look for any neurologic changes. I would recommend follow up with your neurologist just to be safe. If the pain continues to get better, its less concerning and most likely musculature. If it radiates, causes weakness, gets worse, recommend seeing neurologist sooner.

Exam needed: Not safe to speculate - too many causes some of them serious. You need a physical exam by a good and intuitive doc and go from there. Good luck.
