Hi Lisa, Thanks for writing your query. After reading your post, it seems that you are having pain due to muscle spasm. You should get yourself clinically examined by an Orthopedic surgeon and get properly investigated. Get an MRI of your neck and back done. You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 20 mg. Hot fomentation and application locally of pain relieving gel will be helpful. Avoid lifting heavy weights. I hope this is helpful to you. Thanks.
