HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the pain is due to spasm of the muscles in the neck.
In addition to the pain killer, you may need to add a muscle relaxant and warm compresses to the area to help relieve the tension in the muscles.
A prescription from your doctor may be needed for the muscle relaxant. Eg soma, flexeril, robaxin
I hope this helps
