Thank you
Hi, Thanks for your query. From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a muscle sprain. Tingling sensation might be due to compression of nerve. You need to provide rest to the neck-preferably use a cervical collar. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful. Avoid all overhead activities and do not use a pillow. In case the pain is persistent even after taking a mild painkiller, then you might need stronger prescription medicines like muscle relaxants after consulting your orthopedic. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
