Hello,
I have studied your case and most probably this can be due to muscle spasm. I would recommend you to follow these steps.
1.Hot water fomentation
2.Volini gel local application.
3.Avoid using very high pillow.
4.Intermittent cervical traction.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
