Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely repetitive stress injury. You can take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen and apply gels contain NSAIDs like Diclofenac (Volini) for local application. You can also do hot fomentations.
Avoid high pillows and use orthopedic pillows. You can also use soft cervical collar if pain is more.
If there is no improvement then you need to take X ray of cervical spine to rule out any injury or spondylosis. Muscle relaxants like Tizanidine will be helpful also.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
