Brief Answer:
It is not due to masturbation

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I like to inform you that masturbation is completely harmless and not associated with any complications including any kind of pain anywhere in body.

The problem of neck and backache probably is due to wrong posture during masturbation or some other factors.

I request you to not to strain too much during masturbation and use most comfortable position like lying down. This kind of posture will not result in any kind of pain.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
No it is not serious

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

Pain associated with bad posture is not serious and can be corrected with correction of posture. As I said earlier use most comfortable posture.

Regarding medication on severe pain a tablet of Naproxen 500 mg can be taken on need basis. But I must make it clear that avoid medication for such trivial issues.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards
