Hi. Your neck pain is due to face joint irritation... Due to sudden forceful movement your facet joint is loaded and capsule is stretched causing excruciating pain slowly increasing spasm around muscles. Responsible for your awkward neck position...Don't worry... I suggest you to. Keep icing your neck frequently say 15 mins for every 1 hour.care should be taken.as temp should be normal before next application. If you have any Anti-inflammatory medication prescribed to you previously you can have them with GP s advise... If you have a soft collar keep your neck supported.keep it supported with rolled Roseland pillows while sleeping.Don't do any movements forcefully.and don't keep checking the pain...Don't lift anything heavy ...once pain slowly comes down then...stretch your neck gently...bringing your chin to TGE chest.again don't do forcefully... Hope this is helpful for you.kindly revert in case you need any further clarification...
