What Causes Pain And Stiffness In The Neck Muscles?

Not a tumor.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
I don't think your symptoms are related with any tumors, neither to a sinus infection.
Most likely these symptoms are related to muscular conditions of the neck such strained muscles, wry neck etc.
Inflammation of the neck also is a possibility, but less likely than muscular conditions.
It is necessary to get a treatment for few days with warm procedures on neck, NSAID drugs use ( Ibuprofen for example ) and muscles relaxers ( Tiocolchicoside for example ).
If there will be no improvement after few days with these measures, imaging studies of the neck such x-rays and MRI are necessary to evaluate a probable inflammatory condition.
Discuss with your primary care Doctor about these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
