Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Neck

I have a very sore neck. It s affecting the right side of my face. It feels like the muscles have gone stiff. Xrays have shown no joint problems. I am swollen between my neck and my shoulder. I was told that I will have to go for a MRI scan which my. Medical aid does not cover and I will never have the money to pay for it. What I want to know is it possible that I could have arthritis in the neck? Thank you.
