Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

Stiffness and pain in your neck seems to be due to muscle spasm of the neck muscles. It can be a symptom of cervical spondylitis.

You should get a MRI scan of your neck done to confirm the diagnosis.

Following precautions will help in relieving your neck pain :-
1. Avoid very thick pillows.
2. Do not lift heavy weights.
3. Use of neck collar can help.

Pain killer like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with muscle relaxant chloraxazone and an antacid will help in giving you relief.
Local application of pain relieving gel will also be helpful.

I would advice you that you should first get yourself examined clinically by your doctor.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
