Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to the workout. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. Furthermore, I recommend resting and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms. If the pain continues, you can do an X-ray of the neck for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
