Hi. You have not mentioned your age. Your upper back and neck pain could be acute or chronic. If its acute could be from a muscular strain of the upper back and neck muscles. If its chronic could be from the cervical spine like cervical spondylosis or a disc pathology. Sore throat and difficulty in swallowing could be due to an upper throat infection and rarely due to various conditions of the food pipe. I would suggest you to see a ENT specialist regarding this. For your neck problem do take care of your neck posture specially while sleeping and some anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Once relieved of your neck pain you can perform some neck and upper back exercises which will help strengthen your neck muscles. Do
