Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You are probably suffering from Acute Muscle Spasm.
I would like to know a few things before i can tell you medicine:
1. Pain is just in neck or radiating to hands?
2. Any tingling or numbness in hands?
3. Any restricted movements?
4. You have to play match or you want to watch it on TV!
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me and answer these questions preferably in point wise manner.

Dear XXXXXXX
Being a doctor I have to say that you should avoid exertion.
As far as your question is concerned, you may observe following:
1. A combination of Pain killer and Muscle relaxant like Flexon MR can be taken
2. Hot fomentation.
3. Local Volini Gel spray.
4. A drug like Pantoprazole to prevent acidity due to pain killers.
This is my best advice for you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
